1) Because WCG throttled the UD agent back to 60% and mistakenly believed everybody would find out about it from 1 obscure post in an obscure forum. This odd behaviour on their part had led people to speculate they don't know how to send email.

2) Who wants to signup with a project run by people who don't know how to send email? eeeewwwwwwww!!!

Hi All

The trend downwards is on account of all those summer holidays which take place from around about now. The vast majority of the worlds population live in the Northern Hemisphere and for most of us it's nice outside for a change.

A lot of the crunching gets gone by Students and Univeristies and Colleges, exams are over and we will have to wait until October to get them back.

Have a check on last years stats around this time to see if I'm just covering for the WCG .

The CPU throttle feature will have no effect on points generation - sorry but it's true The benchmark that scores your PC for points still runs at 100% occupancy so you get just as many points per hour as before as the UD Client considers wall clock time not CPU time so blaming the CPU Throttle is a red herring - How's that for honesty

Just keep on crunching - it is supposed to be for fun you know
