I'm running two instances of SatH on a 3Gig Hyper-Threading machine. After
SatH has been down so many times, I'm going to cache much more than the 4 I
usually have.

Anyway, what's a good cache size? (I got plenty of space.) Say like ... 110?
( = 16 wu's/day * 7 days :)


It is generally agreed that WUs older than 2 days on return are not
counted for the science, but you get credited for the result. As a
result I tend to cache 2 day's worth, and use SETI Queue to dish the WUs
out to the 3 PCs on my network. 

Two of them are Intel P3s, one a dual. My biggest WU cruncher is a dual
2.8 Ghz Xeon, with HT enabled (4 instances of the CLI at the same time).
This little small holding produces 30 daily.
