Great post(s).

I've been using this tool for a while, but only with the standard timedemos - I wasn't aware of the fact that there were more, so thanks for that.

Also I was only getting an average of around 10 FPS with my HD 3870 crossfire setup, which seemed very low compared to your scores. I tried reinstalling the game and this time did not patch to 1.1 - now it runs far better, averaging between 20 and 30 on Very High settings, no AA @ 1024x768.

So if anyone's having Crossfire issues, try going back to unpatched retail version. The changelog states "improved Crossfire/SLI performance" but it actually reduced performance for me. Weird.
