Getting different scores when the test is ran at different browser sizes.

3.4 when the window is sized to it's smallest size.

2.5 when it's at maximum resolution (1600x1200).

Running on OSX 10.9.

Yes, window size can definitely affect latency and jank. The benchmark page has a hidden full-window-sized layer that the browser must paint every frame, and a large browser window requires more CPU and GPU work to paint.
