Re: slow woes

[dabult]

I cant really say we got similar machines, cause im running an XP 1700+ @
1490Mhz ;)
I average around 4hrs/WU, on my old P3 733Mhz i was on approx 12hrs with the
GUI (screensaver version) and when i got the CLI (command line version) i
dropped to 8-9hrs on the 733.
So the first thing you do if you want to get your times down and dont bother
about the graphics, is that you get the CLI instead of the GUI.

Just ask if anybody needs more info or so :-)
