at least I stopped distributed computing due to lack of resources... but I read through this one:

so I downloaded the current and the new beta client and did some comparison:Quote:

Dear friends,
....
In addition, thanks to some excellent work by Craig Johnston, client versions
2.9105-510 and above contain three new OGR cores. Depending on your CPU type,
the new cores may provide a significant speed improvement over the cores
used in previous client versions. These speed enhancements will shorten
the time required to search the final stubspace. You are welcome to try a
pre-release client containing these new cores, which you can download from
http://www.distributed.net/download/prerelease.php. As always, please report
bugs using our bug database available at http://bugs.distributed.net/.
So load up those CPUs with fresh OGR-27 work, while enjoying an improved
noderate, and together we'll crunch through the final stubspace with fury!
