I kept hearing about Chickens optimized client, so went and loaded it on a few PC's here and there. I always based the performance on the "Est. Speed". Which even with Chickens client its still the same.

I decided to load the client on all my PC still not seeing the performance change.

I had all my PC's on tonight crunching, and I happend to glance at the Completion Time. Turns out that the completion time on all these PC's are now 1/2 the time they used to be.

Used to be 1 day 2 hour - 1 day 5 hours.

Now there all 12 - 14 hours.

Excelent job Chicken!

BTW if you start snooping around my PCs about 50 of the PC's listed were from my work. Owner up and sold about 200 of them. So I cant really get to those. :(

Agreed, all the hard work in the Chicken Coop is really paying off the golden eggs now. :-)

As far as losing some of your fleet goes, I hate when that happens. ;-)

Thank all the hard-working optimizers, as well :o)

I just compile their code, no wizardry there...

They are, in no particular order,

Rev-2.0
Josef W. Segur
Ben Herndon
Alex Kan

Rev 1.41
Michael Harrer

Rev 1.3
Hans Dorn, me (small code fixes, not performance related)

Also, the numerous members of the pre-release test community - without their help in verifying performance and validity on as many platforms as possible, we couldn't have gotten there either.

Lastly, thank the fact that I'm not married and hence have enough free time to devote to this project ;o)

Ni!

I've noticed that all my processors actually demonstrated intelligence when running this program. Especially my older pentium II's and III's. They always got faster at it (completeing units) under the classic version. I expected it with the newer 5.x.x version but, it was not as noticable of a speed increase.
Most humbly.

I would also like to thank you and all of those that put in time on optimizing, but for 1 quick question, will there be a version 2.0 for linux?
