Benchmark race between Android's Froyo and Gingerbread on Samsung Galaxy Tab

Good day ladies and gentlemen.. Here is the fight between Android's Froyo and Gingerbread both on Samsung Galaxy Tab. As I said in last post that I felt updated Gingerbread is showing or display image slower than the original Froyo and sometimes... flick.

I using two Galaxy Tabs. One on the left  is original Froyo and one on the right is just updated Gingerbread.Both of then running 0xbenchmark tool. 
Let's see ...

As you can see, That is proved my suspicion. Anyway, It's not done on the same machine. So, I could not say anything. May be the problem just occur on my tab only. Who knows...

In detail,I won't say about the result in numbers but it seems that 3D benchmark gave an improved result (just a little bit anyway) but all of 2D benchmark results were down ...

Who had try this and gave better result. Please tell me :)
