I have a multiboot system (Debian 3.0, Lycoris b. 46, WinME, DOS 7.10a, GCL 3.0 on UMSDOS).
In my experience, SETI@home runs much faster on Win9x than on a Linux running X and a DT environment with untweaked process priorities, but I never tried numbercrunching off the bare shell.
All else equal, is any one system faster? Is much to be gained running barefoot? (On Win9x, it don't seem so).

What is the required total memory space?
I have 384MB RAM and I have swap throttled to 1/2 GB on both Win & Linuces. Enuf, or should I give it more swap space?
TIA
