For comparison, my 2.2 Ghz Celeron/384 Mb(266 Mhz) ram with 3.08 CLI for
Linux crunches a WU in approx 5.5 hours...in Win XP GUI, it takes 10-12 hours. CLI significantly reduces WU times.

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.

Processor          Seti version       Average time to process
P4 2.8C                        3.03                          3h17m
p4 2.66                         3.08                            3h34m
p3 .80                            3.03                            8h30m
Cel 2.0                           3.08                           7h45m
Athlon 1.8+                   3.03                           4h30m
P4 2.4                             3.08                           3h10m
P4 2.4                             3.03                           4h30m
P4 2.53                           3.03                           4h0m

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