Hello,
when i woke up this morning and looked at my cpu score it dropped from 200 to 120 while the system was idle at night. I still can't figure out how this happened. Another strange thing was that the rosetta process could only claim about 25% of cpu power. I had to restart the client to fix this issue. But i cost me lots of points  (Was a WU of 24hours cpu time or so)Anyone had this before? |

Hi Pconfig. Did you have any automatic schedule task running?
----------------------------------------You know like defrag, or Norton scan...... Too bad for theWU but at 200% you will forget about it within a year  |

Hi Pconfig
The same thing happens to me also. Workstations and "Cruncher Drones" too. Maybe the Internet connection speed is a factor also. "Always" for me the Benchmark goes back to "normal" with the next Work Unit. (I suspect Gremlins!)  Robert |

Did you happen look at the Task Manager to see if another process was eating up the CPU cycles when the Rosetta was at 25%? I can only guess, but it sounds like some other task had to have been hitting close to 75% to have knocked the Rosetta process down so low. |

OK, maybe the lower cpu score was something taks that wanted some cpu power. (Nothing scheduled tough)
And no, cpu was only in use for 25% it also used only 4mb of ram or so  |

That certainly is really strange. I hope someone else has some other ideas on this or maybe somehow some additional documentation on the problem. |

Well, i've got to tell a played a little with threadmaster. But i can assure you that the service wasn't running and threadmaster.exe wasn't open in the taskmanager. But yeah, we'll see if it happens again!

I had a similar problem. I can't remember the exact numbers, but my cpu time was 50 hours and 30% complete when I shut down. When restarted the cpu time was 40 hours 25% complete. Your right, it sounds like gremlins!
