AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ running on Ubuntu 10.04 amd64. I'm running the CPU miner only on one core, because I end up with 100% CPU usage on the other core if I run pocblm  Cry

Out of curiosity I just booted Windows Vista Home 64 on the same maschine and installed pocblm. The CPU usage is between 0 and 3% Furthermore Windows outperforms Linux by the factor 10  (3.5 vs. 33 Mhash/s) Shocked

I don't like that  Angry
If Windows outperforms Linux (especially if by a factor of 10!) you are doing it wrong!
My first guess was that you are CPU-mining, but that wouldn't make sense with 0-3% usage...
Have you installed the latest GPU & OpenCL-drivers? How high load has the card? Is there a significant increase in temperature?
