When you talk about performance what is the relevance of the difference? ie: is it about gaming or about how the phone actually works when your using apps and downloading apps and information? Many times speed tests are not really relevant in actual day-to-day usage.

That's exactly it: the tests only consider compulsive gamblers and not the majority of smartphone users.
