If you look at the data, #1 is the outlier. In all other cases the variation is less then 5% +/-, in many cases under 1%. Given you did single trials (you did single trials, right?) those differences are meaningless.

My guess is if you repeated each test 100 times, tossed out the 5 highest and 5 lowest scores, and averaged the remaining 90 (likely to be a statistically accurate average) these variations would even out to essentially 0.

So, don't use that first radio rom, its a dog. Use any of the other ones It seems pretty accurate since #1 is the shipped sprint rom. I switched from that to #2 and it sure seems better overall.
It is true that the variations in the other ROMs than #1 are in most cases small. However - I am satisfied that the benchmarking program put each ROM through a significant enough test - It downloaded a large file for about 6 minutes and placed a 20 minute phone call for each Radio, monitoring all sorts of variables the entire time. As my conclusions show, other Radio's were better than the stock shipping Sprint Radio, but the Telus ROM was better than any of them. Do you disagree with my data? If so, why? I'm open to discussion here.
