Re: Increased CPU time % shows no improvement and makes GPU tasks slower?

microelectronico,
These are puzzling results.
1) Try looking at Task Manager and see where the CPU percentages are under Processes. This should tell you something interesting.
2) If you do not have a great revelation, try posting the first page of your BOINC Messages tab. Maybe this will show something startling.

Re: Increased CPU time % shows no improvement and makes GPU tasks slower?

I'd like to know if other i5-2500 users have better run times (for CPU tasks). And what happens when they set "use at most x% cpu time" to 90%. Thanks.

Here are my run times (these are averages from my observations):

HPF2: around 4 hours
HCC-CPU: around 50 minutes
HCC-GPU: around 11 minutes (yours may vary if you have a different gpu than mine)

Hi microelectronico,
HPF2 and HCC-CPU times look good to me. I5-2500 runs about twice as fast as my old AMD.
