It apparently started happening after I went to BOINC 4.25 5 days ago. Does BOINC just have a new algorithm, or is it my computer? Les ID: 11146 · Reply Quote

It was fixed in November in the development version that resulted in the 4.2x series. Basicaly the windows compiler (MS VC++ 7) was throwing away parts of the benchmark code, so in windows it would run faster, and thus gave higher results.
