(moderation:
A new Linux App is available from our Beta Test page.
The main reason for publishing this App is that the libz library is now linked statically into the App. Apparently some systems didn't have it installed or couldn't load it with the 4.35.
It has the same codebase as the 4.38 Beta App.

Running the new app on one RHEL4 (2.6.9 kernel) system. Oddly enough, the 4.35 application experienced the "low CPU reported" problem reported here. The problem is no longer there with version 4.37.

Switched from 4.35 to 4.37 during a WU run without problems. But it still reports I am running 4.35.

Boinc "remembers" the version of the app that was used to download the workunit. Once you create/replace the app_info.xml, it will run the new binary, but still report the old version. All newly downloaded workunits will be tagged with the latest version.

Never mind, the "low CPU reported" problem came back after a short while. It doesn't seem to matter except it results in apparent low CPU efficiency calculation.

My host has completed its first WU with the new beta (approx 80% with 4.37)
Still waiting on validation.

It is about 10000s slower than the last beta (which was also slower than 4.21)
Three more WU's will be done in about an hour, and I'll update.

Three more results have finished:

The first two have validated while the third is still waiting for its wingman.
These three WU were 90%+ crunched using the new beta.
Please note in my previous post I wrote crunch time has increased by "10000s", that is a typo, and I meant "1000s". My bad.
These three WU's are also consistent with an increase in time needed to complete.
