I merged the two machines. (thank you) The tulatin shows two processes of einstein bouncing between 46 and 50% each in task manager and booth cpus are pegged @ 100%. This machine used to average around 350.
Advanced preferences shows; use at max 4 cpus. I'm baffled, the first thing I did several months ago was to double check the preferences for the @home machines. The titan can average over 1700 per day with the same preferences. It sure seems as though something is throttling the tulatin based machine.

All that is as it should be. Here is a check for you to perform. When any task finishes on that machine, take a note of the listed cpu time before the result is reported. Then go back through the messages tab to find the entry announcing the start of crunching of that result. The time and date will also be recorded there. Find the corresponding time and date for when the result finished crunching and subtract the earlier from the latter to get the wall clock time that the result took. If nothing else is stealing cpu cycles the wall clock elapsed time should be only very slightly larger than the reported cpu time.
Folks, I looked at the cpu time and it was just under 50%. Something is taking a big chunk out of this project. I decided to watch the task manager on the other monitor that is running off another video card. All looked good until a screen saver launched on the default monitor. It was taking up 18 to 50% of the available cpu cycles and did not stop when the default monitor went into standby. My wife composed a screen saver of many high res pics in a slide show with complex fading in and out to the next pic. I have never noticed it, when I see that machine she is either using it or it is on video standby.

Let us know what you find.

Hi! Have we ruled out

Hi!
Have we ruled out already that the box is simply running dry at times, because it can't connect to the internet for longer intervals?

Thank you all, I can now move on.

That's very good to hear. I'm glad you finally found what was chewing up your cpu cycles :).
Cheers,

Indeed, finally the Tualatin can again unfold it's whole power. I get ca 420/day from mine.
