I've updated the stock application for linux and os x to v0.18. The code is in the code release directory as mw_v0.18d. This has a couple new performance improvements (thanks to our users) which has it running 30% faster, or more. This should bring our stock application (and some of the other optimized versions of it) in line with the fastest optimized apps we're seeing out there. Because of this, in the next day or so we'll have another (much loved) credit modification. I'll most likely be dropping the credit rate by about 30-50% but at the same time removing the credit limit. Due to the nature of the performance improvements, older hosts should see better performance improvements than newer ones, so for most people the credit/hr should be the same, while faster hosts might lose some credit or gain some credit depending on where they are compared to the speed limit.
