That way, any compilation optimizations would automatically be picked up, and could in fact, be different, for different projects, and we would never have to mess with optimized BOINCs.

Which may become ver. 5.x. Andy I also joined 18 May 1999, but lost my password, when I moved and had to change ISP. ID: 140039 ·

The bulk of the time is spend in the Science Application. So, that is where optimizing would, and does, pay off. ID: 140169 ·

The bulk of the time is spend in the Science Application. So, that is where optimizing would, and does, pay off. Exactly my point! But, the benchmarks are built into the BOINC daemon, and thus, if you want benchmarks that match reality, folks are suggesting that you should run an optimized BOINC, if you run an optimized client.

I got very lucky there - found my original password on a CD, of old emacs email archives! Don ID: 140264 ·
