what I notice is that big WU like 20000 fold faster.
yeah there's more to fold but it does it faster than say 3500
I mean they take about the same time to finish the WU.
It just took me strange I see one folding at 16s / frame
than a smaller on come and it folds at like 5mins / frame
and I'm not doing any thing difference.:scratch:
That drove me nuts trying get it to speed up till I faced it
it folds at the speed it folds and there not to much you can do:respect:
if I'm wrong let me know what I can do
otherwise I'm just leaving it be

    Each Processor folds differently depending on the type of Work Unit it has. The same Work unit Type on the same CPU should fold the same. CPU speed is not the difference but the manufacurer of the CPU is....

    some WU's fold better on AMD's... some on Intels. Some WU's have more "frames" than others so the time between frames may be REALLY fast but still take a day to complete whereas a WU with only 100 frames may take 30 minutes and finish in less than a day...
