Welcome to the

As for optomising a system, it is really all dependent on raw CPU speed, and the relevent optomisations for the specific processor you're running.
For example, P4's rule at this project, because of their huge raw CPU speed, and also because the SoB Client is optomised to use the SSE2 enhancements, which the P4 was designed for.
You will more than likely notice that your rate (cEMs/sec) will constantly change. This is because the speed depends on the k and n values that you are working on. In general, the higher the n, the faster it will go
Want to prime and be ready for the Race on monday.
Glad to have you aboard for the race
