For some reason, all the notebooks that have the same CPU as my notebook, just a lower speed have a lower s/TS than mine (seconds per time step) on BOINC for ClimatePrediction.net.

It's got a mobile AMD Athlon XP 1900+, with an L2 Cache of 128KB (2X the size of my Duron) and doesn't perform well at all.

Most of the mobile Athlons get an s/TS of 4-5, while mine is up the top at 7.8.

The things running on it are these:

USB Internet Connection
Internet Connection Sharing

Running Windows XP Home, SP1. I was thinking of unplugging the USB and this computer to it, then leave it connected to the internet VIA ethernet cable and see what the results come out as.

Any other things that could be effecting the speed? Such as certain services?
