Another thought is that if you have a very old machine, you might just have a build up of dirt and dust that might be causing overheating. Too hot a clock chip could well slow it down.

Also, an electrically noisy (and near-dead capacitors) would also cause 'interestingly strange' effects!

SETI might just be loading the PSU more and then causing other marginal effects to take hold...


Let us know what you find.

Good luck,
