How does >that affect your performance both overall and for the specified program? Good really. I have a cron job running half hourly to check if the screensaver is on, if it is it renices seti to -15, if not to -5. If I am running lots of windows suimultaneously I may feel a slight slowdown of the box, so then I renice seti to 19. Comparison of seti results is statistically unreliable due to the huge variance in raw calculus needs within the workunits. But I can say that before I installed MD I had MOL maxed out my performance as against the other users (somewhere around 99.1% of all others surpassed, whatever). Now I am very slowly falling back by very small margins. Currently 97+. On the other hand I am of course also decelerating relatively speaking as I am not buying new mobo`s and cpu`s as soon as they are shipped. Even in w2k I guess I was starting to float back very slowly from my ceiling. So pls bring your stuffed wallet along tonight & I`ll be able to finally buy that smp-mobo tomorrow....;-) What kind of cigars do you prefer? I`ll stock up.
