Well, runlevel 1 has nothing running, so anything you do will have the machine more or less to itself. I would be surprised if you didn't get higher scores there
Higher scores, yes. But I would expect 1% more, maybe even 5% more. But certainly not 100% higher performance. Otherwise that would mean the few services running in runlevel 2 eat up 50% of my CPU time.

I also tried killing services in runlevel 2, hoping to reach the performance of runlevel 1. I killed every demon I could find, unloaded some kernel modules... nothing changed. Since you said the benchmark uses signals for its timing: Is there anything that might send signals in one runlevel and not send them in another?
