Here's the latest. Justin, where are ya?

And good question, Brian... my machine is fairly new and pretty fast, so maybe that's the difference?

Well Gabe....why don't you just BRAG about it? Ha!

According to the results, each of you have the same amount of runtime. However, Gabe's computer is able to process the files quicker. That's why there's such a big difference in the amount of results returned and points.

I uninstalled the app as it was making my computer spin so loudly I couldn't concentrate.

You can adjust the client so that it only uses a very small percentage of your CPU at any time. My computer at home is the same way. However, it's setup so that when I am actively using the computer, it only uses 10% of the CPU's processing power. On the other hand, when I am inactive (an hour of standby), it will use 90% of my CPU power.

I reinstalled it and lowered the CPU but it's still really loud. I'm sitting right next to this computer. I'll see if I can live with it (doubtful).

10% works so I'm at least contributing my 10%!

I did end up installing the app on a second computer, and I found out that if you install it on a dual core then you can run twice as many jobs! Pretty sweet... Gabe better watch out .

Yeah, I'm bringing it, but since my last post I think I have determined that it probably isn't 100% correct. My old slow machine was running two jobs yesterday, so it must not have anything to do with the dual core processor...

Well, I ran the apps all weekend on two computers and my results were a resounding 0! Sorry, but this isn't meant to be for me.
