SETI has always used roughly 35% of my computers resources, on an anthlon
2400 XP Pro w/ seti 3.08 and seti spy 3.3.3.  Over the last month I have
watched seti slowly creep up devoring more CPU usage.

  Last month it demanded 35.4% CPU power and has slowly creeped up and as of
this morning demands 36.1%  I realize overall this is a small change but
anyone have idea why seti is slowly taking over the CPU?

on a normally idle computer, the S@h client should take over 90% of cpu.
that is, it should utilize all of it that is currently available. so,
the question is not why it is using more cpu now, but what is using/has
been using the rest of it?

XP's own task manager should be more than adequate for finding out.

rgds,
netcat
