OK as we all know if we crunch Eon there is a lot of communication with the server and sometimes with retries we lose an increasing portion of good old crunching time.

Now my main crunching box is used to 100% 24/7 so this up and down with Eon annoys it and me, it told me so

So I thought well, if it worked like BOINC where it had a unit to crunch whilst it communicated that would reduce my downtime and improve my stats, I know complete whore.

Anyway I have found the right balance for my XP3200 and that is 4 clients running simultanueosly.

This minimises the downtime.
