It's getting better. Still needs the the "You are stable"/"You are unstable" info at the end.
It would be helpful I think if you created a box in one of the corners that said stable/unstable. You could have a stress test mode, where it automatically picked max ram, and ran the tests until it failed or you stopped it. I'm sure you can have it parse text as it's running, so if you have it full the norms after each new line, it could automatically store the first result, and on first occurrence of a different norm, let the user know that it's not stable.
I think this program would benefit from a single click execution, where you are asked 1-2 questions at most. If the user knows enough about linpack, they can probably figure out how to run it manually. This would be better where you just run it, click a button or 2, and then let it run until you close it or it fails.
Edit: Also, for a normal run, you should have a -verbose parm so that it can show all of the data, or in stress it's just a simple window with the mflops text line.
Edit2: Also, some sort of notification that if you open/close stuff it will make the results invalid.
