    Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't FRAPS have some sort of overhead while running? I certainly don't disagree with their findings, but it seems to be a factor they didn't account for between the traditional timedemo benchmarks and their FRAPS-ified benchmarks.

    it sounds like you disagree with their findings and are just too chickenshit to own up to it
