Your ebuilds have been great. Thanks! I see that you also maintaining the setiathome ebuild. The package builds and runs and for that I also thank you. Do you know if anyone has figured out why the amd64 performance is so low and if there is a plan to improve it? In my move from Classic to Boinc my two amd xp systems keep crunching away. I am tempted to turn off my amd64 version because the performance is so embarrassingly slow. I hope there is some good news in that area. Thank you for all your work!
