[sarcasm]The fix will make linux twice as fast windoze and all the windoze people will complain.[/sarcasm] biggrin

Shhh, then they'll have to test a fix for windoze and there'll have to be another beta devilish

Re: Hughe runtime discrepancy between Linux and Windows

Good news ! smile

I am very interested to discover the improvement.
By the way: earning some info about the root causes would be fine!

Cheers,
Yves

Re: Hughe runtime discrepancy between Linux and Windows

Internal testing is looking good and I would expect a beta test soon. It was a build issue, some of the compiler options were having a much greater than expected impact on performance.

Thanks,
armstrdj

Re: Hughe runtime discrepancy between Linux and Windows

Regarding the points per crunched WU, I have also noticed that the first WUs I crunched were awarded around 550-590 points and now, all what I get is around 340-370 points per WU.

In Linux sure.

Re: Hughe runtime discrepancy between Linux and Windows

I think there is a rule about that. Something like if you exceed the expected claim by a given percentage it triggers some form of anti-cheat mechanism

Re: Hughe runtime discrepancy between Linux and Windows

They could consider running it in VirtualBox.

And what OS should be running inside the VirtualBox?
With windows you have a licence issue and linux you have the problems you have right now.

Beside that: I'm not sure whether or not it is possible to run on a linux server version with no UI.

It sounds like you are making a personal argument based on your own situation. They can run whichever version they want to insofar as I am concerned, or none at all. It is an additional option to consider.
