Default Low PPD on VMs
Some of you may notice that your VMs are not using 100% processor time and where one VM would get ~2500PPD nomally is now getting ~400PPD

On my Q6600 cores 0/1 are at 100% use and are ~2500PPD. However, cores 2/3 are sitting anywhere from 10 to about 30% cpu usage and get miserable speeds.

It *seems* to be bad 1920 WU's

F30-Linux1, p2671 (37-79-78)
My problem ones are all from Project 2677

Solution seems to be to delete the WU and get a different one.

Now.... how to make this EASY to do?

Yup if anybody else sees this its bad WUs:
Folding Forum &bull; View topic - List of SMP WUs with the "1 core usage" issue

Delete the vmware 'folding.zip' created folder, or just let the WU pass and get done. No problem on your end.

I right click on the client in FAHmon, click on view client files and delete the work folder. Folding then downloads a new WU.

You know, I ASSumed that wouldn't work because the files would be in use. I was trying to do it by logging into the VM and killing off the processes by PID, etc.

Oh... and I didn't know that either.
Thanks stoanee!
That's info that would be good in the VMware setup sticky thread.
