Well, on my workstations I wouldn't want to set the screen saver to 0
mins.  That's not the problem anyway.  As I stated, if there was some
way to make this program automatically start and stop are a particular
time (*without* 3rd party software), I'd run it on many more systems.
I have a number of servers that do nothing during the night. 

It is interesting that Win98 is much faster and Win NT workstations
are faster than Win NT servers (both with about same workload).

I also placed the SETI@HOME on a HP Vectra VL (P133) w/Win95 32mb RAM.
This system has been running for 45 hours and 28 minutes and has only
reached 49% completion.  That's why I question whether or not the
software is optimized as much as it could be?   I'd like to experiment
with how much more time is required to render the pretty graphics.
