p638

I was curious and was hoping someone had an answer. Looking at the detailed listing of projects, I've found that I've processed the p638 protein 6 times out of the 33 I've done. Right now, both of my computers are working on this same protein again. When they complete, it will be 8 times that this protein has come up. Is there any particular reason why this one keeps recurring and is this normal?

I have the old computer running the graphical client and it takes it almost 6 days to complete and about a day for the newer one.
Another question I have is that I'm running the screensaver version on the 2.66 P4, and I was wondering if the screensaver version runs faster once the screensaver kicks in versus the one that takes over your system idle process.

Hopefully I'm not babbling and someone can answer my question. Thanks in advance!!

It's normal to run the same work unit over & over, I have done some work units over 150 times.

I've never run the screensaver version, but from what I've read the graphical client is a little faster than the screensaver.
