Santa Rosa 2.4, 4GB Ram Factorial Bench EXTREMELY SLOW!!! HELP please.
After doing some benchs I noticed that my 6 month old MacBook Pro is half the speed of what it SHOULD be.

I am running Leopard. Both cores are working. They idle at 90-98% most the time. In activity monitor it shows both cores are screaming bright green when I bench it.
Would really appreciate any help to get this thing to move quicker. Anybody that can solve this issue gets $20 paypal

Also, what if I did a fresh install of Leopard? Anybody think it could be the cure?
What items do you have running at startup?

I'm puzzled.
Both cores are working. Working to the max, yet they're slow.
Perhaps it might be time to take it to Apple? I wonder if they would even do anything about it. They've already replaced the logic board within the first week that I got this.
Was this on battery or AC power?
