I'm running Seti (3.03 and 3.08) on a range of processors 
and operating systems.  I'm trying to understand why there 
is such a variation between processors and versions.  I 
would like feedback as to others experiences and maybe some 
recommendations on improving seti performance.  Most of 
these machines are dedicated to seti most of the time, so 
conflict with other running processes is minimal.

These machines are all over the place and I'd like some 
suggestions to make them more finely tuned, please.
