As I said, those benchmarks are not very reliable, considering the effect of the cache and of the procedure used. Probably we should repeat them rebooting everytime or using a tool which allows to measure loading times of the applets.
You can do echo 3 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches to wipe the buffer cache. This is not as accurate as doing a cold boot, but it gets pretty close. See "man 5 proc" for more info.
