I think Intel sucks on RC-72. Intel is faster on OGR.

I just instal dnet on one of my laptops. It is Dell Celeron 2.4 GHz. I know it crunch rather fast before but somehow it seems to me that it becomes terriby slow in RC5-72. Is there anything I could check to find out what could be the problem and to fix it?

This machine needs 2 hours and 40 minutes to finish one RC5-72 packet. It seems very slow. It's speed is 447,000 keys per second. It must be something wrong with this machine. Any ideas what it could be?

That is slow - according the the live Client Speeds Database

You didn't say what OS, but assuming windows, bring up Task Manager and see what else is stealing the CPU cycles.
Thanks.
I look at task manager but there is nothing else except dnet.exe
Hmmm... very strange

Maybe it's hot and the CPU throttling is kicking in?
I have a 2.4Ghz Celeron laptop and it turns into an oven if I try to run OGR on it
I'll drag it out and see what RC5-72 does and let you know. I only have 256MB on it.. does small RAM matter to RC5?
Agent Smith was right!: "I hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This reality, whatever you want to call it, I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell! If there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it."
Possible... but it starts to behave like this the moment I turn it on.

Maybe you aren't useing the correct "core" ?Originally posted by edorajh

OGR is consuming only some Megabytes (<5 MB), and RC5 is in similar areas...
Tested on a Pentium M (Dothan core) with 512 MB RAM and Win XP SP2
Selecting the right core is sometimes helpful

Virus?
What is the correct core?
Re virus... everything is possible. Although I do have ZoneAlarm security suite on this machine. And I don't do much surfing with it. I use it mainly for DC... so I connect to take units and discontect. I scan it regularly and didn't find anything.
BTW, in Task Manager it shows that it goes above 80% to dnet.exe.

Dnet should be at 99%! Something is wrong.
Install Ad-Aware.

EDIT:
Check your Power Settings and turn off everything.

I get 4.4M keys/s with Win2K, ZoneAlarm, AVG Anti-Virus, Task Manager going at 149.8MB RAM usage.
2.4Ghz Celeron, no name Chinese laptop. Win2K SP4
