Low angle WU's

[Bleep]

Has anyone ever did a survey of the work units that they have done over any period of time??
I just spent about a hour surveying the last 3 months and 79% of them have been lower than +18 that is between 18 and 30 degrees, it is no wonder I can only do a couple of units a day with a athalon 1.2, and some of them 20 hours or more, a little discourageing to say the least. This means that someone is getting mostly high angle units that take a lot less time to do. If it is the luck of the draw I sure not having much luck.

What OS are you running there?
You know that the NT / Win 2K / Win XP type OS isn't affected much by the AR right?

Also, are you connecting to a setiQ? If so you should see if you can get the VLAR units directed away from a Win 98 / ME type box. (this function has a name, but I don't remember it)

If you admin your own Q then you can ask others who do it how they do it, If you connect to someone else's then ask them to do this for you.

Bleep, 20 Hours and more sounds like waaay too much even for 0.000 angle range WUs.

Are you running the Command Line Client or the GUI client? I suspect you're running the GUI given those times.

That Athlon 1.2 should be getting around 5-5.5 hourse per WU given your config (and that's me being conservative).

Good luck in resolving your problem...

P.S. What WIZ said about connecting or creating your own SETIQ was a good point. It can somewhat filter for "sweet" WUs, so you get improved performance.

A 1.2Ghz Athlon wont be quite that fast with SDRAM ,my fathers 1.4GHz Tbird,PC133 RAM,CAS2,Turbo,4 way interleave manages about 5hrs 10mins/WU ,av AR.Thats on the CLi
Also according to his spec he's running 200MHz FSB so I would think his WU times should be nearer to about 5.5-6 hrs

Look here for some WU times
