RC5 slow in Win2k??

[heng1028]

I felt the RC5 is running slow in my Win2k

i was running SETI and RC5 in Win ME and i am running both as well in Win2k

compare the crack rate of RC5 in ME with Win2k

win2k seems slower

wonder why

Use a task manager to see what you have running. More likely than not, you have something running that's stealing your CPU cycles.

will SETI more dominant in Win2k and steal more cpu cycles from RC5??

I have been doing a little experimentation with running SETI and Dnet at the same time.
On 2K, SETI CLI ver 3.0 is very dominant taking nearly 99% of the CPU cycles.
On a Win 95 box, SETI GUI ver 3.03 gets ~70% of the cycles, and Dnet the rest.

The good thing is that when the SETI client cannot get a WU, it 'shuts down' giving Dnet all the cycles. This way your machine won't go to waste if the SETI server is out of work.

that is what i am having now

it take longer time to finish a RC5 WU in Win2k than in ME
