I don't have any AP workunits yet, I disabled them to make sure I got some MB for CUDA. Hopefully AP work units will go faster as well. I've only had two notable issues so far.
1. Trying to track down the latest release + update + get it all together is rather confusing
2. I'm on a laptop and had to update my graphics drivers via laptopvideotogo.com
Given the fairly small numbers of downloads I see right now I may be able to host your apps on my server if your interested Raistmer. Possibly could have a centralized status page as well for latest version information.
Have you considered releasing optimized apps for platforms other than windows? I'm crunching MB units in about 3 hours on a Core2 6320 (1.86GHz) on FreeBSD and it would be nice if I could crunch a bit faster.

As all conservation laws say, for reducing someone efforts someone else should do work.
For now I have no time to collect updates, do nice web pages and so on... I hope you understand. If someone wonna do this work, it would be very appreciated.
About FreeBSD - never worked with this OS. There is some porter to FreeBSD in boinc_opt mail list, but he wants to work only with stock app codebase. Maybe when part of optimizations will be carried into stock code another platforms will get performance boost too (in first place it concerns AP app).

Just replace your current CUDA MB executable with this one.
It has some performance gain due to decreased CPU consumption during startup.
ADDON: Also, it should do more smooth %done increase indication.

Does this have VLAR kill?

Will try it out on my "old" rig.

:-) i use 6.6.17 boinc 64bit, and small changed mark's app_info , and ak v8 64bit , ap 32bit , and mb cuda 32bit too , yeah , i updated nvidia notebook driver to vista64 181.22 , and now working without error :-) thanks , with Raistmer opts i couldnt get any cuda work , now i have many wu waiting , and ap working too
