Topic 194466

Finally ran down the cache of 3.05 tasks on my quad and can confirm what I saw on the laptop: The 3.07 app runs 30% slower (6.5h to 9h and 8.3h to 11h, respectively) with no change in credit. Any reason for this?

The top Win host shows the same: before and after as examples.

The Linux hosts do not seem to have suffered similar drop in performance.

GW search tasks run in the same range as before.

[edit] Should have posted this in the sticky, apologies!

They needed something to make the CUDA Beta look good?

Only joking :-)

Hi!

Yes, the devs are working on this, stay tuned. To make the matter more mysterious, it seems like the slowdown is far more noticeable on some systems than on average.

Great, thanks for the quick work!

My quad had no tasks in cache but of course got six S5R5 tasks with its first request so it will be a while before I can see the difference.
