[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] NI test of computer speed

I recently bought 1 mb of simm from some one.  A strange things happen.

Whenever I turn on the computer (386sx, now 2 mb ram) and run Norton
Information (SI),  I got a score of 15.0.  After about a hour when
the machine is on, SI will report a higher score.  Eventually, I got
SI score of 17.6.  --> This is the score before I added the extra memory.
I tested this several times now.

Can some one explain?  Does system with more memory runs slower in general?
Is there some SIMM (256x9, made by Japan) need warm-up?
