Yesterday I turned in a WU and got credit of 72.28. My RAC was at 9. someting, and went down to 8.79.
I only had a few units in there before, all old (about 5 weeks) to have the low number before thas unit. When I read how this is figured my RAC should have gone up by 36.14 and if the correct date down a little from the old work. Looks like only the old work is going down.
I have Einstein running 40% of the time, other projects use the other 60%. Sure wish that Einstein had smaller units so they did not get stale before processing. Even with the pref's set to connect every ½ day it downloads 4 or 5 at a time.

Try the Pizza@Home project, good crunching.

Keep wishin' and hopin' Ray.
An optimized E@H would be wonderful, but we gotta get the powers-that-be over in the Einstein house to make their software open source for that to happen. Tetsuji has offered to work on the project, but no answers yet...
Keep your fingers crossed
If I've lived this long - I gotta be that old!

Will be good if they make it open, but have to go with what the powers want. One optomized for SSC2 would cut my time doan from 10 hours to 4 hours if it worked as good as what Tetsuji did for SETI.
I know keep on dreaming.

Hi Ray,
the 'Connect to network about every' parameter is the time, BOINC Manager connects to the server to get more work.
Setting it to 0.5 days means that 0.5 days before finishing a WU ther server is contacted to get more work!
You have to set it to a small value to only have 1 WU processing at a time.
Using a fast connection to the internet at work, I use 0.01 days (that means: only a few minutes before finishing a WU the next WU is fetched).
At home I have a slow connection so I use 0.05 days (which is nearly 1h before finishing a WU I ask for more work).

It is possible that the "standard" optimizations would not speed up the application that much. And if they did, the project now has to weigh if attempting to make multiple downloads makes sense or not.
In the "ideal" situation, there would be a set of compile switches set by the project and they crank out binaries for the different chips out in the "wild".
Now, the problem becomes, how to keep the participant from killing themselves.
When BOINC becomes more mature, we may see a feature where the BOINC Client software "probes" the CPU and then calls down the "ideal" binary.
However, projects with critical data tolerances may not be able to live with the differences that may result from the use of optimized binaries.
looks like your RAC is OK,

looks like your RAC is OK, but you need to merge the 2nd box;
