How do you determine the efficiency rate of the CPU time?

[llew]

I was checking my stats at http://orangekid.teamanandtech.com:5001, it said my average cpu time is only , 18% efficient, it's extremely low compare to others, can someone tell me how is that percentage determined and why is mine so low?

Here is a link to my thread with the exact same question asked only a few days ago. Cleared things up more me then... Hopefully it does the same for you.

That stat is sorta misleading...

It's the total CPU time divided by the time that it took to get the WU back to SETIQueue...i.e.

You download about 10 WU's...They are timestamped. The client crunches them one at a time until it returns them all..

The last one returned may only take 4 hours to crunch, but you downloaded it (say) 2 days ago....so it would be 4 hours divided by 52 hours (2 days + the 4 hours crunching)....SETIDriver, because it stores WU's to be crunched, really squews these numbers because of the large time between when a WU is downloaded and when the result is uploaded...

Yeah basically if you are caching WUs on your system you get screwed out on that stat.

LOL Two posts for the price of one, huh Engineer...
