If you remember the fracas caused by ccperf's thread a while back re: "dual linux smp clients on quads" then this thread will be of interest:
Folding Forum • View topic - 2619 What a PIA!
You will note that on page 2 of the thread our friend roadkill, aka 00john00, commences to get into a pissing contest with one of the moderators regarding his position on multiple clients and the payoff; the mod attempts to explain Pande Group's effort to get everyone using one client per core.
The thread is an interesting read and amusing at times, more so than others of its type in the past. The points vs. speed controversy has been legendary in the community forum in the last year. Personally, I can't wait for the new points system to get introduced so the arguments go away, but still, if you have any interest check it out and post your own take on it here...
