It is a fun way to benchmark your system. I managed to get 4.1hz on my 13th gen i5 work laptop. Let's see an M-series chip blow that out of the water. ;) EDIT - It was 4.1Hz in advance mode. Actually runs at between 22Hz and 44hz depending on each time I run it. Odd to have such a wide performance variation. I will just blame Windows and some power management setting/thermal throttling.
