Just curious, as running a GUI will dampen the performance of BOINC.

Please, enlighten me as to how?

When I do look via Boincmgr it used 1k of ram, and I do check at least once a day for any problems in returning a result ... gotten a bit para-annoyed in that. ;)
 
I just noticed it on the servers i use, if i have a GUI running, then the jobs take longer by around 30-40minutes, now you can say this is a coincidence, but i have disabled the GUI multiple times and the jobs finish quicker when this has happened.
 
Disable the GUI :confused:

err, it ain't 'enabled' unless I command it ... we are talking Linux here, ain't we? or are you using them old fashioned Windows thingies? ;)

Nope, we are talking about Linux, and you can command it to start on boot or not, normally all servers are enabled with GUI for setup purposes then it's disabled, because i have a KVM direct to the servers.

I just noticed WU's finish quicker if the GUI is disabled on boot than when its enabled.

Anywho...
 
Well, it ain't no server and I don't need any fancy GUI to see what Bonkit is doing ... me is getting pretty good with a konsole ;)

However, you made me think, there is a new "search" program called Beagle, great little 'thingie' for finding anything on your drive, but it is a little on the hungry side for my liking so I had it turned off ... well I just deleted/uninstalled it all, and freed up 20% ram. What a little bugger.

We'll see what that effect has. :thumb:
