I must return to this problem! Now we are below the 5 seconds boundary. But when we get some data, the ETS Results page shows a deviation -4.999, (instead of around -4.000). I realized that the data the ETS is giving us show the Local Time, instead of the UTC data. For example: ... Timer

Well, Soft-Capping doesn't affect the SU delivery capacity of the machine but the SUs the machine delivers at all. I mean, the SU capacity of the machine is given by the number and model of its CPUs, but with Capping you can limit its real power to the one you need. If you put 150 MSU
