That's a great idea, but most likely not practicable.
Gaining compliance, getting everybody to respond at the
proper times, keeping track of who's who and who's next,
etc., would be a logistical nightmare.
The Type-A personalities whose names starting with W would
protest mightily and probably rebel.
Personally, I think the whole thing is too competitive. I
don't have an automated processor, cached units or anything
like that. I run the screen-saver version because I see no
point in running supercharged all the time, racing to get
WUs done, when S@H can't handle the workload as it is.
This will cause them to process many duplicates of the same
WUs just to keep people busy.
I just turn in my WUs every 40 hours or so, get a new one,
etc., etc.

Subject: Avoiding a overload

>Hi all,
> I'm concerned with a (very) possible overload of the
seti@home server when it comes back to normality.
> Therefore I would like to propose to get the wu's
orderly.
> I thought maybe we can use a parttern based on our names.
Namely:
> Users with first names begining wiht A to E will first
attempt to connect on friday, F to J on saturday, and so on.
> I know that all of us are waiting to get new wu's but we
must cooperate.
