I started using the naparst version because times went from ~6 hours to=20 20+ hours. The bad part is that you may turn in results with 100-130=20 credits but you may only get credit for 20. FreeBSD's Seti was always=20 25% slower than Seti on the same machine running XP. I figured it was=20 the optimization differences between compilers on the systems. The=20 naparst version went the other way. It is much faster than Seti on XP.=20 With the naparst version, the times are around 2 hours. The problem is=20 that when you change from one version to the other, it may drop the=20 current set of work units and download a new set.=20 With Einstein in the ports, we have an alternative project to fill in=20 when BOINC Seti is broken for some reason.
