Having to manually add up four numbers that *will* be actively changing and counting on an end-user to accurately do math adds extra variance factors. It might give you a ballpark figure, but that's it, and it's definitely prone to over-estimating speed rather than underestimating, which may be why VM like it so much...
It gives similar results to every other speedtest that I have used with my machine even ones not in the public domain.
