Yeah, my Celeron 416MHz at home under Windreck (it's the games machine, can't you guess?) takes about 33 hrs per work unit, my P166 here running 3.1 (it's idprio'd, but admittedly it's a lightly loaded machine at present) takes a similar 28-30 hrs. What I can't figure out yet is the PII - 233 which has so far taken 140 hrs to complete 93% of a work unit. It's got 64MB of RAM so it shouldn't be slow, and it's running as a screen saver with nothing else happening on the machine - obviously this is a windreck machine as well. I'm not sure if it's breaking the rules to have the couple of windows machines here participating in TeamFreeBSD. I'm temporarily top of the team list, but I'm sure that won't last once someone with a real room of machines joins in. What impresses me is the people on the overall top users list who have 1900 outstanding work units but only 200 received. Obviously there's 1500-2000 machines across most of a university all running the screen saver under the single email address. BTW, what "category" is TeamFreeBSD?
