Re: Benchmarking speed

Well that's quite unexpected.

To clear an event log
1.. Open Event Viewer.
2.. In the console tree, click the log you want to clear.
3.. On the Action menu, click Clear all Events.
4.. Click Yes to save the log before clearing it.
Click No to permanently discard the current event records and start
recording new events.

Notes

a.. To open Event Viewer, click Start, click Control Panel, click
Performance and Maintenance, click Administrative Tools, and then
double-click Event Viewer.
b.. You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the
Administrators group to clear an event log.
c.. After you clear a log, only new events will appear in the log.
d.. If you select Do not overwrite events (clear log manually) in the
Properties dialog box of an active log, you must periodically clear the log
either when the log reaches a certain size or when a message notifies you
that the log is full.
e.. You cannot clear archived logs; instead, delete the archived log file.
Let's see if we can get a log with todays date.
