Here's something you may want to look into the next time you compile/link the client.  There's a code optimization utility called 'spike'.  Look at the manpage for more details.  I tried to use it on the current image but
Thank you for the hint. Looks realy interesting !
Do you know, how much could spike increase the performance ?

got an error:

No relocations in the image.
I got the same error, on the srtiped binary.

With the non striped binary I get following error :
Error in setiathome-4.7.debug: 'index' for external symbol for '_GLOBAL__FI_seti_boinc' is 1048575; should have been 5

I am not shure, if spike only work with binaries, which was linked with the TRU64 linker.

Do you have some Ideas ?

I will keep searching around.
