My Specs:
-----------
Windows XP Pro
MB: ASUS P4P800 - 800 FSB
CPU: Intel P4 3.00 GHz - 800 FSB
GC: ASUS Radeon 9600XT
RAM: Twin Corsair 512MB = 1 GB Dual channel DDR 400
HD: 2x80 GB configured as RAID0 160GB HD
PWR: Enermax 460W
CASE: Lian-Li PC-61
It takes about 3 hrs. to finish a wu - compared to my old machine which
took
about 16 hrs (PIII/450).
With a spec like that, a single instance of the CLI should be knocked
off in ~ 2 hours or less.
My dual 2.8 Ghz Xeon, on a 533 MHz FSB and XP Pro, does so in approx
2.25 hrs. When I ran 2 instances of the 3.03 CLI this dropped to 3.25
hrs, and with 4 instances of the CLI it averages 5.25 hours, due to the
shared memory and bus.

1) There are no CLI's for WinXP (Pro).
2) I am running the gui, but only minimized. I maximize it only to take a
peak at it's progress.
