First things first, what are the forums and this whole site slow? I have given up trying to load my account, after being stuck halfway into loading it for 34 minutes. But anyway, so we have new work. They run for all of 8 seconds on my AMD system, no graphics available under the service install (I don't think graphics are available at all).

Linux app is still significantly slower than the Windows app. This WU is a good example. I took nearly 3 times as long as the XP host. The XP host is a similar Core Duo, but clocked slightly lower (1.6 vs 1.67). ____________ Kathryn :o) The BOINC FAQ Service The Unofficial BOINC Wiki The Trac System
