Hmmmm.... this sounds familiar. Not on an oldie running an ole OS, but
on my Athlon 2 Ghz with 768 megs running Win2K. OK, that IS old....

I bet SETI Classic screamed on that though.  So, why is BOINC so
inefficient?

The same prob with the explorer. Yes peeps, it's still there.

...and extremely annoying/frusterating!

I'm gonna run another few days keeping a sharp eye onto it. If things
screw up, I'm just leaving ship. Period.

I think I'm going to mess with the CLI BOINC stuff for a bit, but if the CLI
proves to be as problematic as the GUI, then I'll be leaving the ship right
behind you.  Likewise, I've been running SETI since the start but don't feel
like continuing if it is going to require constant babysitting.   Classic
was great, efficient and never caused any problems.  I want it running
transparant and hidden in the background, requiring absolutely no hand
holding.  So far, BOINC has been everything except such.  Basically, its
just been a major PITA.
