Agreed. We should be placing far better... 5847.99 kkeys/sec is very
low. I'm guessing that we are seeing low participation since it's so
early in the contest. 

So everyone go out and grab the client at www.distributed.net/rc5/ and
configure it to report as email team-freebsd@circle.net if you want to
help out. www.circle.net/team-freebsd/ has more info. 

Personally, I renice the process to +20 - is there really much difference
between +19 and +20? Just curious... :-)

At any rate, with the process running at nice +20 I can see no
notiecable slow down on my system. Pretty neat. Unix. It works. Go
figure.  :-)

cya,
