Good point.

The DB size issue isn't disk space, but rather that (at least on SETI@home)
the server runs well only if the DB fits into RAM.

If not in the database, the 1024 characters of CPU info gets sent every single

bandwidth?  (Hint: It isn't disk space.)

    We could do this, but it would require adding a 1024-character
    field to the host DB table, which would increase the DB size somewhat
    (e.g. by 1 GB for projects w/ 1M hosts).
    Probably not worth it.

        it might be nice on the boinc project's web page for computer (as Bernd

          plus the
        "coprocessor" line I was thinking "ARM Neon" & VFP counted as a 
coprocessor
        (FPU rather than GPU)!  ;-)
