The SETI@Home FAQ is fantastic and informative, but...

Can Anyone Answer These Questions Not Answered on the SETI@Home FAQ?

A)  What is the fastest computer known to run SETI@HOME now?  (Could you
tell by the work unit productivity?)

B)  Has anyone heard of anyone taking a supercomputer or a very fast
mainframe and hooked it up to the system to plow through work units in a
bloc of unused processor time?

C)  What is the rate at which users are signing up at SETI@HOME?

D)  What is the rate at which users drop out of SETI@HOME?

E)  Who is the individual user who has tapped into the most individual
computers for SETI@HOME?

F)  What are the other most popular distributed computing programs, and have
they had any results?

G)  Since there are a lot of government SETI@Home groups, is there a U.S.
Government policy on the use of government computers for SETI@Home? (yes I
realize that many of the computers are at-home computers rather than office
computers, but there are likely still quite a few chugging away at work)

H)  How frequently or infrequently do Windows users actually put their
SETI@home tasks on real time (highest task priority)?
