If you're using version 3.03, 18 hours on a Celeron 500 isn't bad. My GHz
Thunderbird takes about eight or nine hours, depending on how much I use
it, so 18 for a 500MHz processor isn't bad. I think the SETISpy numbers
were done before 3.03 came out, and 3.03 takes a lot longer than any
previous version because they added a lot more calculations. However, if
you're using a version older than 3.03, 18 hours is kind of a long time-
a 500MHz machine should take under 10 hours to do a work unit.

I have a
general question.
I'm running setiathome on a Intel celeron 500
with 128 meg of ram. Everything is disabled except for explorer and
systray. The best time I can get is around 18 hours per work
unit. This is with setiathome minimized to the tray, and the
"blank screen" screen saver set to 1 minute.
Is this a good time? According to setispy
(add on program) the celeron should be doing a lot better.
Thanks
