I have a dual boot machine. When I checks the stats on the seti page I noticed that they were different when running XP, or SuSE. The machine is mostly idle. Is anyone else running setiathome? Any thoughts on boosting perfromance?
I just use the old setiathome binary (haven't actually had time to bother with the BOINC client, and seeing as setiathome still works, I'm not worried). Let it run in the background with -nice 19 and it will eat up an idle cycle without making your PC unresponsive. I don't know about the CPU per hour, but my machine (2ghz AthlonXP) takes on avarage 4 hours to complete a packet. Sometimes a little less, sometimes a little more.
