I was just looking over the Milky site and I noticed that they released their source code in order to allow users to write optimized apps.

It appears that some people have done this. How did we miss this? (or how did I miss this?)

Pc Perspective claims this one is 150% faster

I have started using the new 1.22 v3 app and after 1 hour I still see no real difference. Some people were saying that this new app ran 50 times faster.

not for me it isn't Crying or Very sad

Ummm.....

OOps..... Embarassed

I, ah, seem to have put the optimized app in the Wrong folder..... Embarassed

When I put it in the correct folder it finished the WU in Seconds.

The WU's that were taking 11 hours are now being done in less than 5 min.

These are incredible #ni-1

19000+ seconds @ 260 credits to under 300 seconds @ 8.72 credits

acording to the MilkyWay site "Yes"

Apparently the code was written by students just to get to the results with no thought of making it efficient. The students were not in the computer field.

Many of the changes are being incorporated into the new official version of the app.
