All,
I'm running Prime95 v18 on a Dell XPS P60 (no, I don't want to hear `switch
to factoring' or anything -- it's running double-checks). When activity
happens (in this case a Word document being opened and looked at), sometimes
the log shows stuff like:
[lots of 0.814 sec iteration times]
Iteration: 3077000 / 3644xxx. Clocks: [48.8 million] = 0.814 sec.
Iteration: 3078000 / 3644xxx. Clocks: [56.1 million] = 0.936 sec. <-- Word
Iteration: 3079000 / 3644xxx. Clocks: [46.7 million] = 0.779 sec.
Iteration: 3080000 / 3644xxx. Clocks: [47.0 million] = 0.784 sec.
Iteration: 3081000 / 3644xxx. Clocks: [46.7 million] = 0.779 sec.
Anybody have an idea about why it actually is faster now?
My best guess would be some kind of timing mistake, but it still doesn't
sound right...
(The computer has been left totally untouched after the Word usage. The Word
usage shows itself in the 0.936 timing. The machine should have enough mem --
40 MB. Running Win95, no evil CPU-hogging programs.)
