Good point -- and I think there's an option to turn that off, or rather a
text-only version of the program, which would speed everyone up, but
especially the Celeron. Since mine is running mostly when I'm not there, I
shouldn't care much about the pretty graph.
I am just about to move into the top third of all SETI@home users, with only
4 work units completed -- this says to me that a lot of people sign up and do
0 or 1 and then drop out. We appear to have about 10 such people out of 40 on
the ExI/>H team. Also, we have >half of our total results from the top 4
members -- if any of them have stopped running, that would explain how the
Mormons got ahead :-)
I'm not sure how current or accurate the stats are on the www site, either.
And, no, I don't think CHEERLEADING: will catch on as a topic prefix :-)
