Looks like the linux version

Looks like the linux version is a bit faster:

Win32: Runtime: 5430s (Average of 50 WU's)
Lin32: Runtime: 4702s (Average of 10 WU's)

Measured on a dualboot E7200, 8800GTS 512; it's about 15% faster.

Hi,

I just reactivated my 9800GT. This meager card crunches a BRP WU in just ~5000s. This is awesome compared to ~100000s on my AMD 9350e!

Keep up the good work. (Looking foreward to the new NVIDIA driver w/o bug.)

You can turn off the CPU BRPS work-units in your prefs. However, the CPU is still the only way to do the Gravitational Wave work-units, so I am sure the project would be unhappy if everyone completely stopped doing CPU work.

There should be a remark

There should be a remark somewhere that the GPU app produces a lot of errors with the official Nvidia 260.1936 driver. Installing the beta driver 270.18 reduces the quote of errors but this driver has some other problems.
