I recently upgraded from 5.x BOINC to 6.2.14 (current) - nothing else changed in my system. (10.5.4).

my C2D 2.16G iMac used to be 2225 FP mips, and 5400 int mips whereas just now it reported 2320 FP and 8183 int (!). these results are repeatable. does this new boinc manager measure FP MIPS differently? why should it, given that it\'s the standard drystone?

i don\'t think my models will complete any faster - anyone have any insight as to what\'s happening?

The algorithm used for the benchmarks has changed, as it has done on several occasions in the past.
This project doesn\'t give a hoot about the benchmarks, so don\'t worry about it.
