Spent their time and effort making the 'optimised' Boinc and S@H app's.

I downloaded the seti-p3.zip from a link in one of the threads discussing the creation of the optimised code.

Carfully reading the various threads, I installed the new code, and after 2 days can report that:

1. My claimed credit now matches my granted credit to a much greater degree. I averaged a granted credit of 30, and now claim about 32, instead of 42.

2. My cunch time has falled by 25%, From 15,000ish (4 hours) to 11,500ish (3 hours).

3. My benchmark only 'improved' by about 10%, hence the fall in credit claimed. It is my understanding that a WU should claim about 30 anyway, so i lose nothing.

4. All result from the optimized versionhave passed validation so far.

So to all of those numerious programmers out there who's hard work made this possible,

Thank You.

As a point that may be of interest, I notice that now a WU will get 50% done in one hour, and then the remaining 50% will take two hours. I assume this is because the first 50% of processing is 'relativly easy' while the second half of the math is 'harder'?
Perhpas the next target, to speed up the second hhlaf of the processing??

It has always been like that. I believe it has to do with the fact that those percentage numbers are just estimations.

I agree thanks to all of you who optimized BOINC and SETI especially for Windows/Intel.
