If I go to my account, Results, and click on a result I see two new entries like this in both SETI and Einstein:
Average CPU efficiency 0.747387
Result duration correction factor 0.83622
Can anybody explain them?

Percentage of CPU cycles BOINC is getting when allowed to run.
There is no WIKI article :(

Tnanks Michael. There are my SETI parameters:
Average CPU efficiency 0.802106
Result duration correction factor 0.362711
From what I understand from the WIKI article my Pentium II Deschutes at 400 MHz with SuSE Linux 9.3 OS performs better in SETI than in Einstein. As a matter of fact, I am using an optimized client in SETI.

The low RDCF is due to the optimized SETI app. ACPUE should be nearly identical on all projects.

The RDCF was incorporated as

The RDCF was incorporated as a feedback mechanism so your work cache can be more accurately filled. Previously this was calculated directly from the benchmark data which can be wildly inaccurate. This generally resulted in faster machines not getting enough and slower ones getting too much work for a given cache setting. The RDCF provides the factor needed to correct for actual host performance.
