slow woes

[Mountain Man]

Hi,  I'm new here, so apologies in advance if this is the umpteenth time
you've seen this question.

I just started with setiathome.  I'm running at 400MHZ Pentium II,
Windows '98 system with 256MB of RAM.  I've got the program set to run
in screensaver mode with graphics off.  To my dismay the first workunit
took over 93 CPU hours to complete :(     My second unit is 23% complete
and has used 20 hours :((   I've tried some different things - killing
all programs except setiathome for overnight run, rebooting the
machine.  I don't typically stay connected to the net.  I have 260MB of
free disk and defragged not too long ago.

Can someone suggest why my machine might be running so slow?  Also, does
anyone have recommendations on CPU/memory monitoring software?  Any help
much appreciated  :)

Thanks,
Elby
