Should the SETI 3.0 GUI be faster or slower than 2.04 GUI on a P133?

If it's slower, I'm not gonna upgrade clients yet. I need every WU I can get. :) Thanks

i'm gonna guess that its slower... its really well optimized for chips with full speed on-die cache. not for slow cache, like the p133.

then again, the version 3 does new science. so ethically you should go to v3.

Yeah, go ahead and upgrade, but only on the P-133. ;)

Ken, I'm running v2.70 on this C433. It's the fastest client I can get. :) I might run 1 WU from the 3.0 CLI on the P133 tomorrow and see how long it takes.

Hey, do any of you have copies of the older SETI@Home? If you do... could you send it to me? or at least link me, thanks...

Seti V3.0 CLI look like it's running slower on my P100 times used to be 37Hrs-42Hrs Per WU. The one that I'am one now (first WU on V3) is at 48% done and at 35:15 Hrs :frown:

I have found that 3.0 cli is definitely faster than 2.7 gui on a P3 550E --- my times are down from 8.5 to around 7 hours. My performance drop is due to handing over one processor to RC5 ta_seti@hotmail.com miniteam.

Thanks Mad Pierre, I'm going to stick with the 2.04 GUI on the P133 until I get to 500 WUs.

JawaJedi, do you want the 2.4 CLI, or the 2.04 GUI? The 2.4 CLI is still up here, and I can send you the 2.04 GUI if you need it. Are you on the Team AnandTech SETI team? I don't remember your name.

Isn't that deadline just for the CLI clients? I thought it said there currently is no deadline for the 2.x GUI clients.
