With boinc client 5.2.14 and setaihome 4.18 one WU takes more than 12h/CPU (it is not finished) against 3h with previous boinc version (4.x). Why? ID: 283790 ·

It is a FreeBSD only problem. On other BSDs (NetBSD and OpenBSD) the performance is OK. In the fact, that seti enhanced soon will be release, I think it is not worth further work. You can try out the seti enhanced. The performance should be OK there. Stefan Urbat has made binaries for FreeBSD - the version 5.05 is a older version, but produce valid results : http://www.lb.shuttle.de/apastron/boincDown.shtml#freebsd Seti Enhanced aka Beta is a sepereate Project : setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/beta.

You can use ports/astro/boinc-setiathome-naparst. It's very fast, I think. Do you think my FreeBSD machine is slow? http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=2163523 ID: 283990 ·
