i did a clean install of win10 yesterday,since seti restarted today it seems my 290x is processing about twice as fast as before,finishing the tasks in half the time. just found it interesting..

The work sent out isn't always the same. Some of it takes longer, VLAR tasks, or some of it takes much less time, VHAR tasks. A normal angle range(AR) is ~0.42 with values that deviate much higher being refereed to as VHAR(very high angle range), about 1.127 & higher, & those that are much below VLAR(very low angle range), about 0.30 & lower. Unfortunately your speed increase looks to be due to completing shorter tasks than it was doing previously.

If you look at a completed MB result you can look for the line that says WU true angle range is :.

For a completed Astropulse task you can look for the line that says percent blanked:. Where a high percentage of blanking mean there was not a lot of work to do in that task.

Your crunching times are quite similar.

496 seconds with win 10 for AR 0.42 and 505 seconds before also AR 0.42.

Did a memory upgrade to 16gig, installed Win10, and BOINC + SETI is running noticeably faster.

Helping where I can. Hindering everywhere else.

Unless you previously had 2GB or less of RAM, the response would be the same as HAL9000s to the opening poster.
Not all WUs have the same run times. Going from Win7/8 whatever to Win10 for systems that have sufficient system resources (eg RAM), and going to Win10 doesn't result in the disabling/removal of some system resource hogging software, there have been no significant changes in crunching times between the Operating Systems.
