That is very unefficient !... Is this an issue with Mac OS X version of Milkyway only ? I haven't this problem with other projects. ID: 38623 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

While computer is in use unticked. If you want it to crunch continuously then tick that box. If not then you will have to live with WUs restarting. MW doesn't checkpoint, possibly because of its teensy weensy WUs, 90sec on my 5870s, unlike projects with longer WUs [CPDN - 2,000+hrs on my overclocked nehalems]. Cheers, PeterV .

Yes it is an issue that Travis is looking into. It might be a moot point as he will be releasing the new application series here in a couple of days as well.
