    Yes, even us old farts get pissed occasionally!

    Got tired of being polite to get a issue fixed and no one doing anything.

    The points disparity works in reverse for me.


    That huge spike is when MCM units ran short and I got FAAH Vina units instead. It's the only available work where Linux machines don't get routinely boned on points even if we do the same amount of work in less time than comparable machines running other OSs.

    My Linux boxes did very well on VINA as well, sometimes. Others it same points as Docking or MCM then back up to as much as 3 times as the others. But did not see it on Windows.

    My Linux machines regularly got 0% of the credits that my windows rigs got, because they never actually worked lol

    Code:
    fx-8350 @ 4GHz
    FAAH:	Average runtime per task: 2.56 h		Average Points per hour: 31.24
    FAHV:	Average runtime per task: 1.24 h		Average Points per hour: 30.02
    MCM :	Average runtime per task: 6.76 h		Average Points per hour: 25.01
    
    fx-8350 @ 2GHz
    FAHV:	Average runtime per task: 2.33 h		Average Points per hour: 23.80
    MCM :	Average runtime per task: 13.61 h		Average Points per hour: 15.90
    FAAH:	Average runtime per task: 5.51 h		Average Points per hour: 12.69
    clockspeeds makes a difference

    I like large posteriors and I cannot prevaricate

    Agreed - I dropped of the project back when they switched as I was having issues. Now I just get the occasional one when I can't get other work. (and my android devices as FAH is the only project available for them.)

    Sadly, I don't think boycotting with make a difference as the WUs go out with feeder priority. As long as there are a fair % of people who don't bother to boycott, they will simply get higher and higher portions of FAH WUs to make up for the ones we boycott...


    24 hour prime stable? Please, I'm 24/7/365 WCG stable!

    So you can do Furmark, Can you Grid???

    For me, it wasn't about points at all. I stopped on my own accord simply because it wasn't running well... which is why I think there's a discrepancy in points awarded.
