I'd like to see them bring their software more in line with the kind of load we actually see in real-world usage....

What happened to the days when FutureMark actually released patches to their software instead of new builds? Having to re-download 1.5GB 3 times a week because they found issues in a recent build is annoying.

Non-steam update was 1.5Gb not 38Mb, as it seems Futuremark no longer does individual updates, but build updates. This results in having to download 1.5GB again. Before you go on about why u no use steam version, I have my reasons. It makes things easier when benching a new system or new install rather than having to go through the hassle of installing steam, logging in, validating the account through e-mail, restoring 3dmark from backup, and letting it download the update if needed.
