With a 270x I'm getting very poor performance.  gpu:0:Hawaii [Radeon R9 200 series].  In the work queue the ETA on the gpu is 10 days while my cpu is about 2 and a half hours.  Any suggestions?  Is my card just not powerful enough for this type of work?
turn off one core on your cpu. Your gpu will need it ...Advanced settings. under SLOT click on the cpu and change -1 to a number less than your cpu cores...

Pretty sure thats not it. If u want to not fold, just click right click cpu and pause it. Then yes your ppd will drop (cause a decent cpu will get about 5k ppd,) so logical that your pd will drop. If you only have one card then should be more then capable to get both cou and gpu folding. But to ensure gpu is getting max amount of work then you could go into settings and change the cpu slot from -1 to 2 or 3.
explanation : Just like when mining where one would set :
Code:
setgenerate true -1  // -1 standing for use all cores// let program decide
you could here change the cpu -1 to your number of cores -minus cores u want to keep free. Example : i have quad core, so i would set to 3, so i have one core free to feed my gpu. (also, posting log, try to use " code" much more readable and saves post space.

As for your low ppd on gpu, my guesses...in order of probability #1 you havent waited long enough. Takes at least half an hour to and hour for gpu ppd to come close to what your getting for real. #2 cpu not feeding gpu enough.Click on pause on cpu and wait again for a reasonable time (1 hour+) In both cases, use a proragm like afterburner or something to look at gpu load. If gpu load is reaching max, then means your probably just impatient.. #3, drivers are not up to date. Amd Cat 14.4 (the updated/corrected version, since first was buggy will give best ppd yield. But still buggy/sometimes wont respond to regular mining..... so install at own judgement.
