How much slower will each instance of the Distributed Folding client in a dual-CPU computer run than a single instance of the Distributed Folding client on a single processor?
Distributed Folding appears to have little performance penalty for running a second instance of the client on a dual CPU system. The performance delta between CPU0 and CPU1 are small (approx. 5%) and the performance delta between CPU0 and an identical CPU running in a single CPU system with a single instance of the client is also small.
