WIN2K & RC5?

First post, so Hi.

Up until now, I've been running RC5 for TA for 92 days, without a problem. So anyway, I installed WIN2K (upgraded form win98) and my key rate dropped from around 3M/Ksec to less than 2.5M/Ksec. I guess I just want to know is this normal? I have checked task manager and nothing appears to be taking time from the DNet client. I even upped the process priority, to normal, with no effect. Assuming this isn't normal, does anybody have any suggestions (apart from switching back to win98 😉 ).

Thanks in advance.
 
Actually the performance has increased in the benchmarks ( 3.35MK/sec from 3.2MK/sec), its just that with the actual work units i'm only getting 2.1MK/sec to 2.5MK/sec.
Thanks anyway.
 
emtonsit: Have you tried a utility such as Another Task Manager to verify that some thread is not consuming CPU cycles that you are not aware of?
 
I seem to get very slightly better keyrates in Win 98 than W2K, like 1.49 compared to 1.45 on a dual boot system. The Win 98 install is very clean with nothing else running so that may be the difference.
 
Thanks for the suggestion, but I have tried windows task manager, and that doesn't show anything. Is it possible that something is running but does not show up in task manager? I tried another task manager but it will not run under WIN2K.

I should have said - you are human now 🙂

Problem with this pic is that I'm not Asian. The other pics look even less like me. 🙁
 
Hmm.. My RC5 rates went up noticibly when I went from Win98SE to Win2k. Although much of that was due to my 98 load becoming rather messy after about a year. I get an average of ~2.4Mks with my Celermine @850mhz. That's up from ~2.35Mks in Win98SE.
