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

It takes about 3 hrs. to finish a wu - compared to my old machine which took
about 16 hrs (PIII/450).

UHHHH, not true!
The i386-winnt-cmdline.exe file is the one you need.
If you use the small program SetiDriver it will even cache work units
so you can suffer thru the few, now, interuptions in service that
Berkeley has. I have been caching about 5 units on a computer that
does about 10 to 12 a day and it has worked out fine. In the past a
couple of days would have worked in most cases.
Running the GUI minimized still requires the program to draw the
pretty pictures slowing down your computer. Even if you aren't
actually looking at them they have to be generated just in case you do
decide to "take a peak at it's progress". The cli version will give a
decrease of around 20% or so in processing time.
You said you were getting around 3 hours to complete a work unit. I
am/was doing units faster than that with my AMD 2800 +!
My AMD 2200+ is doing them in 3hrs 8 minutes average.
