I am just checking the machine leadboard and find something interesting:
manasd 27315.81 7/9/2018 6:06:42 AM 3391974 89828.89 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU G1620 @ 2.70GHz [Family 6 Model 58 Stepping 9] 1994560 2 8151.14 MB 3282.09 0.8 27.31581 1.312836
For this slow machine with 2 core, how could he achieve such a high RAC? Is there any trick we do not know?
GPU for rosetta?

It would appear that way.
edit: seems they abandoned the project

I was wondering that quite some time ago, there were others too where the RAC didn't add up to the seemingly slow hardware. The solution however is quite simple: Rosetta (or BOINC) reads the hardware from system files. If you know where to look for it should be quite easy (especially under Linux) to edit those and write in any hardware you want. If then you copy-paste images of your whole installed operating system to your other machines it appears as if you have dozens of weak CPUs crunching a lot of RAC.
However, why you would go through all that trouble is beyond me...
on another note: Why was the wallet feature "memorize prayers AFTER wallet start" abandoned? I really liked that I didn't have to wait several minutes until the wallet was opened.
I like the background prayer load feature also. The reason it was disabled is TheSnat had a couple instances of a 5+ minute loading time, and I got very nervous that we had a race condition so I disabled it. You have to realize the feature is not just for prayers but also for PODC data, so its critical the wallet has it all in order before the chain finishes syncing... So we will have to revisit this again and ensure there is really no race. There is a pull we need from thesnat for the transaction list which confuses the issue (as the extra-long load started at the same time we added tx list filtering And background prayers), so we need to insert one fix at a time and verify it.
