My R5k-180 usually took about 60 hours.  On the other hand, my R10k-195
Octane takes about 6 (IIRC, could be 12).  I've heard reports that R12K-300
Octanes do them in 3 hours or less.

These days I'm doing the protein folding thing:

I learned that Seti at home purposefully crippled the executable for fast
architectures for some reason (so that they didn't run out of units to give
out or something) - so I decided to switch to protien folding.
