We are currently in a Beta period. We are trying to squash as many bugs as possible. The more people that send feedback to Cyrus the better. Normally we do not update clients this frequently, these are just beta clients that we are making available to solve many of the problems we have had in the past with the client.
Making sure dial-up lurk works right, making sure the client doesn't hang win9x when the machine is shutdown or rebooted, etc.
Team AnandTech has helped us in the past find lots of bugs. You guys use it in so many different ways that we just can't reproduce them all.
Thanks to everyone who has helped us find bugs.
As far as the cores go
a) yes, it (OGR) is slower because the single core in there is optimized for P5. (final client will have 2 cores)
b) yes, it appears slower because the benchmark suite has changed
c) yes, it appears slower because .464a-d used different timing for benchmark
If you are running a beta client in hopes of just getting a faster key rate please understand that the idea behind these betas is not showing an increase in speed, its to find bugs. Please do not report that the client is slower to Cyrus anymore. He knows about he will be changing things as the beta goes along.
If you really want to help, please look at the list of changes and see if you can verify that the changes/fixes work/don't work. Or if you know you had problems with X feature before see if you are still having that problem and report it to Cyrus.

Keep up the good work, guys.
