RE: slow woes

[Terbush, Scott]

I have a P1 266, 64MB RAM Win 98 that does packs in 44 hours average.  This
is THE slowest machine you will ever run across and it only takes 44 hours
(on average).  Some packs that over 100 hours and some take < 44, but it all
works out to 44.

Also, I have a P3 600, 256MB Win2k that takes <10 average.

All of my machines use SETI Driver for caching and SETI Spy for running the
command line version.

If you are hitting enormous hours per unit I would look to see if someone
snuck another distributed app on your computer. Where I work a guy will slip
folding@home on people's computers to run after hours.  Dual distributed
programs will definitely kill performance.

That sounds reasonable for the AMD k6 series, I found that series much
slower
than the PII, the athlon perhaps may be about right, i have a 950 classic
and
i see that the last 4 times were 10:53, 9:46, 7:44, and 10:28, it is running
Win ME. It used to run win 95 and was clocked just over 1000 and averaged
just over 7 hours, 7:09 was the last average for it, so it likes the older
OS
better... where as the K6 series seemed to like Win 2K or NT better.
