System Mechanic®
Performance Benchmarking
Purpose
To show computer performance improvement using iolo's System
Mechanic software to repair and optimize Windows PCs.
iolo technologies (iolo) recently released System Mechanic
v16.5.

NovaBench tests the four primary components of a PC. On
completion, it scores the PC based on an aggregate sum, and
also offers individual scores for each component.
-
Its test perform floating point arithmetic, integer
arithmetic, and MD5 Hashing to evaluate CPU performance.
-
It tests graphics processing units (GPUs) for 3D Graphics,
RAM for read and write speed, and write speed of storage
devices.
PerformanceTest 9.0 by PassMark
Software
-
PerformanceTest evaluates the four primary components of a
PC, running 32 various sub-tests in the process.
-
To measure a CPU's capabilities it runs mathematical
operations, compression, encryption, and physics.
-
To measure graphic performance it tests vectors, bitmaps,
fonts, text, GUI elements, and DirectX 9 to DirectX 12 in 4K
resolution.
-
To measure drive performance it tests reading, writing &
seeking within disk files + IOPS.
-
It benchmarks access speeds and latency to system RAM.
Heaven 4.0 by Unigine Corp
-
Heaven Benchmark is a GPU benchmark program used to evaluate
graphic (i.e, gaming graphics) performance.
-
It stresses graphic cards to their limits to determine the
stability of a GPU under extreme conditions.
-
In addition to an overall score, it also measures Frames Per
Second (FPS).
Internet Benchmarking sites
System Mechanic (16.5.1.27)
To repair and optimize test PCs.
Windows Startup Time
Windows' Event Viewer (Applications and Service LogMicrosoft-Windows-Diagnostics-Performance/Operational,
Event ID100) was used to record boot-up times.
Startup (Windows Boot) Speed
Improvement (%) after running System Mechanic
Key Findings
-
Optimizing the PCs with System Mechanic
has a dramatic positive impact on the time to boot a Windows
PC.
-
For example, the Windows 10 Desktop
took 148.4 seconds to boot, but after running System
Mechanic the PC was up and running in 48.2 seconds – over
200% faster.
-
The total aggregate score (across all
PCs) for Startup Time was: 89.77% improved.
Internet Speed
Four popular download speed test websites were used to evaluate
the performance improvement on a system optimized with System
Mechanic.
A common browser was used to separately visit each site and run
their speed measurement tests.
Download Speed
Improvement (%) after running System Mechanic
Key Findings
-
Internet download speeds increased considerably across all
devices.
-
Each PC saw at least 14%+ improvements.
-
3 of 4 PCs realized over 20% faster downloads.
-
The total aggregate score (across all PCs) for Internet
Speed was: 39.25% improved.
CPU Performance
Benchmarking tools NovaBench, PerformanceTest, and GeekBench (2
separate tests – Single Core and Multicore) include CPU stress
tests in which they perform tasks such as compression,
encryption, floating point arithmetic, integer arithmetic, and
MD5 Hashing.
CPU Performance
Improvement (%) after running System Mechanic
Key Findings
-
The Desktop, with an 8-core processor,
realized modest 3.6% gains
-
The PCs with 2-4 cores had improvements
near 30%
-
The total aggregate score (across all
PCs) for CPU Performance was: 17.25% improved.

NovaBench and PerformanceTest offer RAM
benchmarking evaluations in which they measure latency, and read
and write speed to system memory.
RAM (Memory) Performance
Improvement (%) after running System
Mechanic
Key Findings
-
The Desktop with the most RAM (16GB)
realized the least benefit, but was still improved by 4.5%.
-
The PCs with 2-4GB of memory had

Heaven scores the system in
Frames-Per-Second (FPS), a popular measurement mechanism often
used by PC gamers.
PerformanceTest, in its two tests,
evaluates the graphic performance using tests that stress image
vectors, bitmaps, fonts, text, GUI elements (2D), and DirectX 9
to DirectX 12 in 4K resolution (3D).
Graphics (GPU) Performance
Improvement (%) after running System
Mechanic
Key Findings
Drive Performance
PerformanceTest and NovaBench measure drive
performance by testing read, write & seeks within disk files +
IOPS (Input-Output operations per second). Scores from the tools
were aggregated for each platform tested.
Drive (Primary Storage) Performance
Improvement (%) after running System
Mechanic
Key Findings
-
The Desktop has a high performance SSD
as the primary storage device, and therefore realized
limited improvement.
-
The UltraBook's HDD averaged
performance gains of over 44%. (This PC's SSD is used as a
cache, not a primary storage drive).
-
The lower performance SSD- and HDD-based
systems saw significant increases.
-
The total aggregate score (across all
PCs) for Drive Performance was: 17.97% improved.
Conclusion
-
System Mechanic v16.5 demonstrably
improves the performance of the four principal components of
a PC.
-
The improvements quantified by the
benchmarking software programs may deliver a faster PC with
enhanced performance during a potentially wide array of
tasks, including gaming, rendering, streaming, graphic
design, office tasks and more.
-
In addition to increased system
responsiveness, common user actions, including booting the
PC and web browsing, were improved considerably across all
systems tested.

Masterclass
3 Things Pay Per Call Affiliates
Forget to Do When They Finally Start Crushing It.
This month we want to bring your attention to a recent
Performance Marketing Insider
article which
gives some must-read advice to Pay Per Call affiliates.
[This advice, in our opinion, is equally applicable to
other channels, such as paid search for example].
"As a pay per call marketer, the beginning stages
can feel like a grind, but eventually you will reach an
"Ah Ha" moment where you finally begin to really get it.
A big weight of anxiety begins to lift as you see the
profits start stacking up monthly as your campaigns
become optimized. The truth is that not everyone can
reach this level of success and end up giving up too
soon before they can experience this moment. In an
ever-changing technology landscape, being able to do
this everyday, and make a living at that, is quite the
accomplishment. When you finally start crushing it with
pay per call, remember these 3 tips that most people
completely overlook:
Anticipate Day to Day Fluctuations
There are good days and there are bad days. Campaigns
might have to be paused, your calls might drop due to a
flooded call center, or competitors might creep in to
drive up your average cost per call. Whatever the case,
experienced pay per call marketers are prepared. You
should consider looking for backup buyers and a diverse
source of traffic when things are going good so that it
isn't too big of a shock when things, inevitably, start
to go badly. You should also track your income and
profitability trends on a monthly basis to help even
things out in the event that you have a rough day or
week. Many people track this on a daily basis. This is
normal, but it could cause some unnecessary stress on a
bad day. Tracking your workload monthly will paint a
better picture as well as give you an idea of what you
can plan for the next month and the remainder of the
year.
Prepare for The Government's Cut
No one is immune from the government and its tax
requirements. What do you think is going to happen when
they send you request for payment and you reply with,
"Sorry, I spent it all at the Spearmint Rhino while at
the Affiliate Summit." The Government likes to get paid
first and not planning ahead for tax payments is the
single, biggest mistake that rookie publishers make.
Thus, take a lesson from those who have suffered the
consequences and do what is necessary to ensure you
won't go broke in the Spring. One piece of advice is
that you might want to consult with an accountant at
regular intervals throughout the year so that they may
guide you on a proper tax strategy. When I was a solo
pay per call marketer, I made sure to treat my operation
like an actual business. I opened up a business
checking/savings account and signed up for a business
credit card with cash rewards or airline miles – Adwords
and Facebook expenses can rack up credit card points
fast! Also, I never mixed my personal and business
accounts. All business expenses came out of my business
accounts and I made sure to include an explanation for
each transaction as this could be used as a defense
against any IRS audits. I hate to hear stories of pay
per call marketers who were making $20K+/month profit
only to end up broke come tax time because they didn't
plan for a big tax bill."
