interesting thing i noticed with superpi

[shimmishim]

so i decided to run superpi 32M test...

i opened up task manager so i can watch the cpu utilization...

when running the 1M test, it runs 100% all the time..

when i run the 32M test, the utilization fluctuates between 100% and 22% (even lower at times)...

is there a reason why this happens?

my superpi 32M score with my clawhammer 3500+ is around 39 minutes while other people are getting 27 minutes at the same speed

thanks!

open task-manager and select real-time mode for superpi. should stop the problem!

yeah i just tried it... didn't fix my problem

boot windows in diagnostic-boot-mode (via ms-config: run msconfig --> diagnostic-boot-mode). then try it again.

sorry to bring this back up....

anyone running 32M in windows2000 having problems?
