In the thread on expected ppd for a Q6600, gurusan posted a link ...

... to a small app that increases the efficiency of winSMP crunching. This automatically manages the clients (runs as a service) and swaps their processing between cores to maximise ppd. There's a bit more about it (in slightly stilted English) on the site.
Anyway, having installed this, according to FahMon, I've gained about an extra 500-600 ppd with 2 x winSMP clients running on my stock Q6600 (~2600 to ~3150). For the glory of Team 10, I just thought I'd post this to get everyone crunching to their maximum potential. It might be a useful addition to the SMP install guide too.
As you were!
