Hello Lawrence,

Well... most of the time Rosetta is 92%, task manager itself 4%, and antivir guard 0%... I guess it doesn't slow Rosetta down ?... or maybe not all the time ?... or maybe i cannot see it (if it's included in Rosetta's %) ?...

Or my low scores are normal with my config (cf first post (i edited it))

Checking periodically the Task Manager is the right way to know about all this ? If so, I'll do that.

(does the agent open and close files very often ? coz it's what antivir guard scans i think)

Thanks !

One more point that might provide some insight..
Looking at http://www.unofficialworldcommunitygrid.com/WCGProcessorScoresorted.htm
shows that a P2 400 mhz should have a CPU score of somewhere in the neighborhood of 36 to 41 under normal circumstances.

Much of that data is old but should still be applicable.

Anything running at the same time as the WCG software will slow it down to one degree or another because WCG runs in the background at the lowest priority. That is not a bad thing.

You need to do what ever is necessary to keep your PC healthy and useful and let WCG take the leftovers. I am unfamiliar with the AV software you are running but presuming it is effective, then I would recommend you keep an eye on it for a while with the task manager as suggested and unless you find it excessive (what...over 5% consistently or thereabouts), I would presume that all is as it should be and let it run.

Two important points:

1) If your PC gets infected or compromised it is of no good to you or to the WCG.

2) Your contribution is important; too important to compromise for minor gains.

Kind Regards.

Actually every minute Rosetta slows from ~92 to ~78 while avguard accelerates from 0 to ~10 during less than one second (in task manager). I guess it's writing on the disk. Sounds like it's not a problem, doesn't it ?

Again, I'll check overheat.
