(hypothetical) if I had a network of computers for the search is it better
to get each comp to process one unit or the whole network to process one
unit at a time??

Since it is impossible to have multiple Computers work on the same Unit, you'd have to let
each System work on its own WorkUnit...

There are theoretical works out there that technically could connect several Computers
into a single virtual one, but since the SETI Client is not multi-threaded, it remains a
theory.
(overhead would reduce performance as well, even if it worked, so running one Instance of
SETI on each System, or 2 for a Dual CPU Machine is actually the best solution)
