I experimented running more than one distributed computing clients on several of my Ultra Ninja Bastiches and came up with some pretty interesting results. The experiments involved SETI@Home CLI, d.net and ECCp-109 (DOS and GUI based) clients.
First off, d.net client (469) has the lowest priority followed by ECCp-109 DOS client then ECCp-109 GUI and finally S@H CLI.
I ran three clients, d.net, ECCp-109 DOS and S@H and found that S@H hogs all the idle cycles. But if you ran the ECCp-109 GUI-based instead, ECCp-109 will run at half speed but S@H still completes within the average time!!! Unfortunately, d.net doesn't even get to crunch anything.
In other words, if you have S@H running on your system, it is highly recommended that you also run the ECCp-109 GUI client since S@H is not affected while you are still producing distinguished points for ECCp-109 and help affect TA's overall results.
Just sharing my findings.
[EDIT]
PS. One word of warning though, neither the DOS or GUI ECCp-109 clients transfer the distinguished points found over the proxy.
What I did was stop the network clients and moved it to a pc with a modem and do a transfer then move it back and re-run the client. You might just fumble and accidently delete the client (like I did today with my longest running client), so be warned.
This problem is acknowledged by the creator but no fix has been done thus far.
