Gromacs on Linux on a P4, finally running right!

Geeky, in my own wayNaples, FL Icrontian
Somebody at Folding@home listened, and reworked something in a new set of WUs. This is from the Linux based P4 box, running Folding in a Konsole session in KDE 3.1.3 because it runs FASTER than with a pure tty textual console run. Note, these are percentages, and it has half as many frames as a p638 which took 12 min per FRAME to run:

[17:08:24] Folding@home Gromacs Core
[17:08:24] Version 1.49 (June 23, 2003)
[17:08:24]
[17:08:24] Preparing to commence simulation
[17:08:24] - Assembly optimizations manually forced on.
[17:08:24] - Not checking prior termination.
[17:08:24] - Expanded 194732 -> 946757 (decompressed 486.1 percent)
[17:08:24]
[17:08:24] Project: 1041 (Run 2, Clone 87, Gen 2)
[17:08:24]
[17:08:24] Assembly optimizations on if available.

Times per percent follow within 45 sec per percent through percentage 65, but DECREASE from percentage to percentage. Box only got its dust accumulation removed, no other changes although a bit cooler in here than 6 days ago. Actually, WARMER than yesterday for temps. This box has been up for about 1.5 years now, this is amazingly fast for this little P4. Barton box is not keeping pace, to be honest, right now. Yes, it now runs faster with the -forceasm switch on, reverse used to be true.
Gromacs on Core 78, running right on a stock configured (no OCing) P4. NEAT!
