I have tested it on some Einstein WUs, now one Wu takes about 20-30 minutes longer than the v4.13!

4.16 a little bit slowly

The Core Client doesn't actually do any of the work. It won't affect the speed of the E@H project application.

I suspect what you are seeing is simple WU variation.

Not so.

The core client is responsible for handling some of the interface between the science app and the system - it has to be, since it manages communications, prioritisation, disk I/O and a number of other things. Variations in Core Client will affect the overall performance of the science app to a greater or lesser extent.

There was much anguish over this issue on the SETI boards when an earlier version of the core client was released and slowed everyone up. I wish I could find the threads. Maybe someone else can help.

It may take longer but you

It may take longer but you claim more credits also, so it evens out in the end ... IMO

The difference is small enough as to be irrelevent. Definitely not 20-30 minutes...

No, that was a project .exe. 4.05 I believe.
