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?
Running under XP ... % of time BOINC client is running 81.8484 %
Running under SuSE 9.3 with X ... % of time BOINC client is running 58.6482 %
How similarly are the two BOINC clients configured? In particular, is one set to compute constantly and the other tied to screen-saver activation? That could easily explain the discrepancy. Another simple possibility is that you simply give the CPU more to do when you're running Linux than when you're running Windows. Randall Schulz
