Just speed up your computer and return results ASAP.
If you're a single user this figure shows the percentage of time your
processor dedicates to SETI@home - if your PC completes a data unit in 8
hours but the unit isn't returned for a further 8 hours then you'll have a
CPU dedication of 50%, whereas if the unit had been returned straight away
the CPU dedication would be 100%.
If you're in a group the CPU dedication shows your group's processing
power - if the CPU dedication is 10 then you have the equivalent processing
power of ten computers constantly running.
The CPU dedication is equivalent to the average number of processors in the
user account working full-time on SETI@home since registration.
