Subject: Performance question

I'm running 3.08 under WinXP on a Celeron at 2.4 GHz.  I may upgrade to a Pentium IV by simply replacing the chip.

Requesting clarification.  When SETI runs a unit, it completes the first 10% of the unit very quickly (about 1 hour in my case).  After that first 10% or so, however, the rate of processing falls to about 3% / hour.  Is there some reason for this?

Can anyone guestimate my performance improvement if I replace the Celeron with a Pentium IV at the same clock speed?

Cheers,
Alan.
