How can he be getting fewer points per result, yet have more results in less time? I can't figure that out.

I guess he has less diskspace and/or a worse NIC, but a better processor. Then he can do more in less time but get fewer points.

Hi FatBurger! (sounds tasty) ;-)

As far as I understand the scoring system you rather get points for CPU-time and not for the number of results. So a faster computer will get less points per result but do more results in the same way. So it stays the same. On the other hand is the evalution of the computer. He (tinytoonadventure) is a friend of mine and he is using two devices. A rather fast P4 1.7GHz with 640MB RAM and a good NIC. The other PC is a PII-300-snail. So the evaluation will be about 125 for the P4 and about 50 for the PII.
Hope that did help. :)

They only rated my @140 :( Do they rate all of them same? They are giving me the shaft on my NIC! They rate it at about 60% of their reference. I have a built in 3com nic. I don't think it's that bad.
