FYI.

Hi,

I installed real Player on my system XP.
Usually I complete a work unit in 17hr. Wintout SETI, as soon as Real Player
(RP) is loaded the CPU ressources increase to about 100%, that it is active
(running a music, loclaly loaded on streaming) or idle (even without any
song loaded, only the RP kernel).
Of course when SETI is loaded this is still worse. The CPU resources stay at
100% of use but as RP is in the background, work unit are processed up to 5
times slower... I need days to complete one.

So if you are looking performance, avoid loading and running RP with SETI at
home.
