There are dozens of factors in the run time. The garbage collection is opportunistic (it doesn't run on a schedule) and even things like network and mouse events can affect when the GC will run. Plus, the CPUs are being shared with other apps on your system. Wait till you see the run time change when your virus scanner starts up. When I run performance tests, I try to run 5 runs or more and look for convergence. HTH, -Alex
