    Seti@home?

    Hey guys,
    I installed this last night and the cpu time has been over 7 hours to get to around 18%. Is that normal? I think it's going a little slow.

    Thanks!

    are you using the command line version or the GUI version from the berkley site? (the GUI version takes a lot longer.)

    lol.. ya thats a little slow.. since you just started, ditch the GUI and go get the cmd-line version. You should be doing a workload in under 10 hours with your CPU. But make sure you dont do any CPU intense things (ie gaming) while running SETI or that will slow it down also.

    Shadowfire.. yours happens to be low also. Yours should be done in about 4 hours. If your running the GUI then you should switch also.

    Here are some of my results...
    C400@500 12-13 hours
    Athlon 950 ~6 hours
    Tbird 1.4 ~4.5 hours

    My Xeon 1.7 dual proc system does 2 WUs in approximately 4 hours. That is one per proc per 4 hours. I use the command line Seti version. Your performance should be similar depending on your proc speed.
