Processing Question

Hi all, I am a loyal seti cruncher for BBR with 2500 WU's completed. I've been doing this for a few years now, but, I must admit I'm a little ignorant about certain aspects of the seti project. I'm looking for info on how to increase my performance. My average cpu time is over 10 hours and I was looking at the top stats that showed users with average times of just over 4 hours. How the heck do they do that? Currenty, I crunch with 3 pc's.

I use the seti spy command line 3.0.6 on windows 2000 for all machines along with the seti driver. Is it all about the cpu or are these guys doing some other tricks as well?

Re: Processing Question

Other than the CPU speed, there's the L2 cache size, ram speed and ram timings. I don't know much about the ram timing stuff but I'm sure someone will help you.

 It is mainly CPU power - My XP2000+ completes a WU between 2.8-4 hours depending on AR. My wife's T-Bird (1.2 gig) does a WU every 6-7.5 hours. Ram helps and so does lower ram timings but ram timings do not do a lot for faster times. OS helps as well as W2K and XP use ram better than Win98.

Otehr than that there are not really any other tricks - at one time people used to make sure they got high AR WU's (they take less time to run) but I do nto think that is being done anymore. That is something I never did - I got the WU's I was assigned and my PC did them....
