PS3 F@H updated to v1.1

[rich99million]

A quick heads-up for you PS3 Folding types...

Exhibiting its continued commitment to the program, SCE also announced that starting tomorrow, it is providing a Folding@home application update that will further enhance the user experience. The updated software features an improvement in folding calculation speeds, increased visibility of user location (*1) on the globe and the ability for users to create longer donor or team names.

From the thread on FCF:

Shut down F@H and opened it from the XMB, started downloading updates.
Good deal -- I love updates.

also...

Some quick math seems to indicate a jump from around 900ppd to near 1200ppd.

I'm basing this on p2558 which I think took around 8 and a half hours to complete with v1.0. It now takes around 5 hours 20 minutes to complete with v1.1.

I could easily be completely wrong. Anyone else seeing significant improvement?

Edit:
Might just be the WU. I'm getting .0389s/frame.
