Hello All,

How often do machines on average trickle? From viewing other peoples results it seems to vary from every 2-4 days. Is this accurate?

Nope, inaccurate in two ways:
1. trickle is every 10802 timestep so how often depends on model progress - it is not time scheduled.
2. it can be 2-4 days on slower machines running only several hours per day (office desktops). My machine is trickling about 4 times a day.

Good one Honza....

The trickle time depends on your PC and yours is quick...

My AMD 1800+ on 24/7 (24 hours / 7 days a week) without much other use trickles once every 15 hours or so...

:-) TRW

PS: I actually created a little MS-Excel spreadsheet to help me forecast when the next trickle would occur. It seems to be fairly accurate.
