First has anyone tried btrfs? I wonder if that suffers the same fate? I image the slowness of ext4 came when they rolled out that one flush_write patched which killed its performance. It was a needed patch because it was a large issue in the server community. I don't know exactly what the patch did but it made the chance of loosing a write very small compared to what it was before. As a result ext4 write times increased.
Also my http://www.dccontests.com site is up. Its primed and ready to go for folding. Its not the prettiest and I'm working on that this weekend but I think my scripts and everything are good to go. I think I might offer a contest up just to test the site out and I'd be willing to offer my XP90-C I just replaced
.
I think a front page presence would help the cause a lot. The hard part is getting the team motivated to do some writing. Some of you may remember there was a contest a while back. That turned into one article being written. Overclockers.com gets a lot of traffic, and if we can increase our presence there, we may see our numbers rise. The more awareness we can bring to light, the better. My very good friend AmbientFiction has also recently written a very good setup guide for the front page, I just need to get the time to work on getting it better formatted, since something was lost going from a PM to Wordpress.
I do also know that Overclockers does have a relationship with some manufacturers, I will see if I can talk with IMOG about seeing if one of them might be willing to sponsor us.
