Hi,

I>ve read in this Newsgroup that a corrective patch for Win XP was slowing down SETI (and the whole
system I think...), but I can>t find out which one it was. I>m just experiencing 20% speed off since
1 week, and the f.cking autoupdate was turned on...

Can someone give me the patch to uninstall, please ?

The upgrade in question was replaced by Microsoft some weeks ago, and the
problem should not occur anymore.

Just make sure you are fully up to date with your patching.

Thanks Hully,

I did the last update, but my performances are still lower : 9 h / wu instead of 5 to 6...

My machine : AMD Athlon 1400, 256 Ko RAM, Win XP Pro

Running night long with slow charge of RAM : SetiGate, seti-cmdline-303, Antivirus are only active
applications.

Any clue ?

Olivier

Hm, the Antivirus certainly needs to be configured as not to scan the SETI work directory
at every write access.
I don>t know if you changed anything in it>s config, but I>d test the performance with the
Antivirus disabled for a while.

I also don>t know if the Updates install any new (likely unneeded) Services. After all,
default WinXP is full of those :p

My Athlon 1900 XP Plus is aparently running normal...with times in the
high 3 hours. However the screen scrolls one line at a time.
