Recently I downloaded the 4.25 Boinc Menubar and loaded it instead of Deep Thought. Inadvertently, I had Classic and a bunch of applications running. It started up and ran a Whetstone and Drystone Benchmark that naturally produced poor results. Does anyone know how I can kill those results so it will run the tests again? My model is literally running at about half the speed it was before...

The benchmark tests have nothing to do with how fast the client does actual work.
They are used for estimating the client speed to make a baseline for claiming credit.

If you can find the binary executable for the client you can manually run it in Terminal with
./boinc_client_name -run_cpu_benchmarks
to redo the benchmarks.
Or you can just wait, as it re-runs them from time to time.

The benchmarks will be re-ran weekly, if you do nothing, or do as mikkyo suggested and rerun from the terminal.
