Folding@Home Client's Performance Impact Measured
EconolineCrush writes "Trying to convince your boss to let you run Stanford's Folding@Home client on the machines at work? Here's an article that measures the performance impact of running the Folding@Home client that might help. The article examines the client's impact on the performance of business applications, games, workstation applications, and more. When set up correctly, the Folding@Home client can be run transparently in the background with only a negligible impact on system performance, which means your boss has one less reason to turn you down."
Taco's Mom measured my impact, and let's just say: her measurement's of my immense impact unfolded were mighty impressive.
Whats that? Oh, no, it doesn't have anything to do with work.
Yes, it will have an adverse effect on the network performance but this web site I read claims it won't be all that bad.
Oh really? I should get the fuck back to work and quit fucking around with bullshit worthless personal stuff on company time or you'll fire the shit out of me?
Yes, thank you sir, back to work sir.

>> this article isn't going to convince him.
probually not, but it might be able to confuse him enough so you can convince him of something else
I mean look at all those numbers and graphs!
I refuse to participate in a project that puts USofA in the center of the world map. Obviously, these are meant to degrade us who live outside this country.
Bring me back the good old Alaska-to-Siberia map.
