Just joined... but don't get too excited just yet!
Current = 22% in... wait for it... 15 hours.
Surely a p3-750 shouldn't be this slow??!! Anything I can do to speed it up?
Cheers

Turn off the screen saver display (ie. Turn on "Go to blank screen in 0 seconds") if running the Windows client.
Or run the NT command-line version (maybe with SETI Spy so you can queue up work units if their server is down).

Definitely run the command line version, it's noticably quicker.
Dunno whether you have to bother queuing work units at that rate, though

Well I've been browsing the factory outlet at Dell for a while - some tasty p4 3.2ghz HT's going for under a grand. I don't know why the p3 is being so slow though - I'm guessing theres something nasty going on because it used to turn round UD work units quick enough. It's destined to go to my sister at uni when she starts in september, and will be replaced by something around the 3ghz region.

Ahh I have discovered the problem, and it's a really stupid one. I minimised the client to the system tray, to leave it doing its stuff. But I hadn't enabled processing when not maximised because I assumed all the stuff about fast cpu meant it wouldn't just use the idle time. So, overnight it would have been minimised in the tray and therefore doing fuck all. I feel so ashamed...
Still, will grab the command line client a bit later and see if that further helps performance.

Some of us turn our PC off when we're not using it, and I've spent my entire life coming last, so I don't care.

And some of us are petty enough to turn all their computers on to get bigger numbers than the rest
