I updated the project after changing the settings. The temp change was just a transitory thing. The temps are back to normal. My hard drive temp seems to go down the more it is used. Perhaps a spinning drive acts like a fan.
Not related to the 4.42 app testing --- I have seen a very slight improvement in the crunch times on my Mac Pro. The speed up is so slight that it may be in the noise range. It is less than around 50 CPU seconds per WU. My Pro is fighting for the #2 spot right now. At the speed it does WU's I figure the 4500+ RAC should be attainable. It will do about 8 x 650 credits per day. The top dog right now has 16 processors. That might be hard to catch :(
Bernd, who currently has poor Internet connectivity, informed us that some last minute improvements were included in the S5R3 codebase. This means that, contrary to previous announcements, the current set of beta apps will NOT be able to crunch S5R3 results.
There are still a few days worth of S5R2 results in the server pipeline, so there's no immediate hurry. But you should be prepared to de-install any beta app you might still have, including the most recent one, in the next few days so that your computer(s) will automatically download the new S5R3 app once the new run begins. It's safest (and the most traffic friendly way) to let the whole currently loaded pipeline of results finish and only then remove the app_info.xml file (no matter how long that takes). If you perform the change earlier, any crunching and un-crunched results in your pipeline may be rejected, but you will get new ones after the currently available official app is downloaded automatically.
