We don't mess with schedulers during benches (most ppl) but that shouldn't mess with scores all that much, can u screenshot the score sheet?

You have a very slow sdcard, and either you have stuff (apps/services) running in the background taking up your cpu, or you are attempting too many benchmarks in too short a period of time. Benchmarks stress out the cpu/gpu and make them very hot. Heat causes errors, making the cpu/gpu perform the same calculations over again, lowering your score.
For high benchmark scores, keep your phone cool, let it idle for at least 5 minutes before running a benchmark, clear out the task manager, and see if there are any services you can stop, airplane mode helps as well.

OK I will give this a try. I got a class 4 men card. I will clear ram and wait bout 10 mins before I try again. The phone wasn't running hot though. And I been clearing all the running apps before I test. I appreciate all your help!

FYI- class 4 is not very good. Class 10 is what you want, and you can get a 32gig class 10 on newegg for less than $20.
Be sure to wait 5 minutes after clearing ram, Android doesn't necessarily free it up right away!

After a long nights work for this noob I finally fixed

Is anyone else having problems with antutu crashing on them?

Hey jerry I got a question about victorious. If I remove my SD card while the phone is on will that ruin the swap or damage it?

Please post questions about Victorious in it's thread, this thread is about the kernel, that way people can find the info you have asked about and it will help everyone.

Antutu will often crash if you don't let your phone sit idle for about 5 minutes before testing (at least it can crash when using 1.8ghzCPU and 400mhzGPU). When it crashes on me, it's usually because I've been doing some testing and the CPU or GPU temp is too high (the GPU really heats up over 300mhz).

OK sry jerry still new to all this. And thank you its working now.
If antutu is crashing, you may be OCing too close to your cpu's max.
Might wanna back down on the speed a few notches even if it's stable during normal use, for safety's sake. Not worth stressing the cpu and potentially shortening its life.
Heat damage is cumulative, and if you're pushing your cpu over time its ability to OC can degrade. If you're barely stable at 1.8 and continue to run at that speed, you may find a year from now that you can't run 1.8 at all, and now 1.5 is barely stable; whereas if you had been at 1.5 the whole time there would have been no change.
