I too was VERY underwhelmed by your runtimes. I don't see the 3 - 4X improvement over the Pi4.
I just finished doing the same comparison with Asteroids@Home, and wow, with that project the Pi 5 is actually three times faster. Soon I should have a full blog post on it. I wonder what is causing such a massive difference between projects.

probably differences in how the app is coded to take advantage of the hardware. did you compare and verify that the Pi5 received the same application as the Pi4b from the project? Asteroids has several different ARM/Pi applications listed.
did you, or will you, do a similar comparison for Universe@home?

Please post a link to your blog about all of the tests you are doing.

For both Pis the application name was "Period Search Application v102.14", however, for the Pi 5 it was just that, and for the Pi 4 it was "Period Search Application v102.14aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu'. Not sure if that makes any difference, I need to ask that on the A@H forums.
I will do it for U@H, but for that I need to work out how to run 32 bit apps on my 64 bit Pi OS.

Hmm, that did not work for me, I did those steps and I am not receiving tasks for U@H, I'm just getting Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks in the Event Log. I wonder if it is because I am using Bookworm? Which Pi OS version are you using?
Thank you for sharing this, but after consideration I just went with the simplest option, I reflashed the SD cards with 32 bit Bookworm and now I'm crunching Universe@Home. Depending on task speed I should have an update in a week or two. Thank you again for inspiring me :)

Ok, my goof. Still my Pi4 has better times and it IS NOT using any gpu cores. Running on 3 of the core at the same time.

As long as your distro has the 32 bit libraries available for installation, you can run the U@h apps on a 64 bit Pi.
sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libstdc++6:armhf libgomp1:armhf libboinc7:armhf
sudo reboot
add this to cc_config.xml.

I'm running Debian Bullseye on the Pi4 and Raspbian Bullseye on the Pi 3B+
Here they are at Universe.
