See change in quoting. Do you have that green line at the beginning of your app_info.xml file ?

Hello people,
after many days testens, I will switch off the hybrid client probably again, because he brought no betters, but rather the opposite with the working PC.
PC: AMD Athlon X2, Win XP 32bit Sp3
Although I had placed avg_ncpus even also on 0, the astropulse client moved up to 50% of the processor, then both still running Multibeams divided only 25%. This entailed which was extended the Multibeam runtime up to 3-fold.
In the final effect the everyday points goes down from 1200-1500 to 600 points on the day.
On the one hand, I may not exclude which lies it with the used operating system. Vista und Co have there them if resource subdivision improves.
The hybrid client is already a determining step in the right direction and I thank Raistmer for his excellent work.

And so what? If you will run AP CPU only you will process MB infinitely slow cause you will process no MB at all simultaneously with AP. So 3 fold slowdown still much better than no progress at all.
Did you compare CPU and hybrid AP CPU times for your host?

And how many AP results in "pending" state in your list?

Astropulse on Pending credit are 2
