How fast does ONE data unit take on SETI @ Home running under OSX

I have managed to get 12hours 49mins running a 600mhz 384Mb Ram/10.1.4

Funny replies to this answer:

1. What is a Data Unit?
2. What is SETI @ Home?
3. What kind of a design forum is this?

Seriously, I'm not sure, but that sounds rather slow. Then again, I only ran SETI@Home on OS 9...

transferring to distributed computing, a place where they know about these things.

Sounds about right to me. I have a 600mhz iBook. It'll depend a little (i mean, a lot) how much you use your computer for other things while it is crunching. You could probably get the time down further if you don't touch it at all. It will also make a big difference which cloent you run- Screensaver, CLI or what? Post details about how you run it and people will be able to tell you more...

Here I've compiled a small table of various CPU's and their output in work units per day. After a little math you could also get their time per work unit. That math would be 24/(units per day).
