    Yes, the NaCl version produces far more PPD than the desktop client right now.

    From what I've read NaCl can achieve about 95% of the performance of a native application. However, in this case, I don't think that matters as the number of PPD I can get from the Chrome app is far more than I could with the desktop app.

    Mark, I'd really like to be able to see the estimated points for the current WU and PPD. Any idea if this will make it into a future version?

    I'm running it on 3 different computers and I haven't had a single crash after the issue I had installing. These are all Linux machines if that makes any difference.

    Nice. It crashed the first time I tried to install it, but I restarted Chrome and tried again and it worked on the second try. I have it folding now.

    storageforum App

    Chrome was pissing me off. Anytime I try to enter text in the address bar or anywhere else it's extremely choppy. What browser are you using?

    storageforum App

    I've been using Firefox lately on my S3 and this site performs pretty poorly. Scrolling is really choppy and slow and the page tends to redraw itself a couple times after loading a thread. I never had this issue with Chrome on Android.

    Intel NUC for use on a TV

    I run Xubuntu on a computer attached to my 55" TV. I've found that the various *nix window managers are far better at scaling than Windows is. I'm posting from that machine right now.

    There are too many websites out there to register for. Maybe I should work on an app that automagically registers for everything that it knows about.
