The other day I accidentally set my processes to two on my AMD rig in my sig. (I was trying to set my cache...oops) But I noticed that performance on the units were almost up to par as one unit by itself.

The seti spy, which shows one of the processes, was still showing about 5 cpf with another process going! After it transmitted the next unit was about 43% done.

So I started a new seti folder and transferred some of my cached units into it just to see what would happen. I am running two sets of spy-driver combo (not too efficient I know) and they are still pulling 400+ MFLOPS/sec at around 5.5 cpf.

I am going to run it for a day or two and see output for it.

Does anyone have any experience doing this? Any feedback would be cool :cool:
 
Tried that a long time ago. It starts out looking like it might work well, but in the end the completion time for each unit doubles.
 
That is kind of what I am figuring out. I knew it surely was NOT a new idea. I guess I am just a little slow :D
