I seem to have a really bad Folding WU and wondered if thee is much one can do abou tit?

GBGromacs
Project 2096
178 points...

ETA to finish... 6d10h at 4%
By comparision on the same PC but other core
Project 2106 15h26m at 74% (less than 3 days total).
 
Yep SSE boost appears to be working. I'm going to drop the WU on an old XP processor and just let it munch it.

That core appears to be the one that usually get's hampered by other uses (gaming etc.) BUT all other projects average at least 60-70, usually 80ish with a peak of anything up to about 140.

Go Figure....
 
I'll leave it' it's a cruncher I don't use much and just get it out of the way. Just stranger a XP1800 is close in performance to one core on my 3800+... May well be quicker on an intel but too much hassle to swap :)
