I'm one of many who got fed up with distributed.net and cracking rc5des.
If I ever did those, I think get fed up too. It almost seems pointless,
breaking codes that someone knows the solution to, just to prove you can do
it. At least with GIMPS you get to make real mathematical discoveries for

Hi all,
I was wondering why the "Iterations between screen outputs" setting
was defaultly set on 100, and I thought it was beacuse each screen
output takes precious CPU time.
But when I changed it from 100 i/o (usually around 0.430 sec/iter) to
10 i/o, nothing really slowed down - the time
