Some of my computers run freebsd/amd64, and I found out that the computers which running XP is faster to get milkyway credit than freebsd/amd64.
The funniest thing is, running boinc under wine in freebsd is much faster than running in freebsd itself. The different is so big (like in milkyway under wine to complete the task usually take 2-3 hrs, but under freebsd it take 17-20hrs:( in the same computers even if I tried to speed them up using nice).

Anybody knows why running milkyway under freebsd wine is much faster than under freebsd itself in freebsd/amd64?

Edit:
You can see what I mean is by checking computer ID 368456 which is boinc under freebsd/amd64 wine, and compuer ID 436052 is boinc without wine (both are the same computer)

That's slow enough to be consistent with me screwing up and releasing a debug build. I'll try to check later but I don't think I did that
