I dunno if this is good...

My computer runs slow as hell when the whole processor is being used. It would suck to have it run like that all the time.

Re: I dunno if this is good...

folding@home runs in 'idle' priority with the OS and thus only uses CPU cycles when another program doesnt need them.

 Since the program runs at the lowest priority, it doesn't detract from anything that you might be doing. It only uses idle CPU cycles, so you'll never notice a performance hit while running it.
