    I really meant Owning slower threads, not creating them....but whatever works.

    I decided to go for the FAAH 5 Year badge... I should make it as long as they keep issuing work through tomorrow. I suppose if the work dries up, I can slow my i7 rigs down to the lowest muliplier.. make 'em last

    I guess a little <ncpus> gaming won't hurt my chances, either

    Last night they posted that the batches are going slower than expected, and with resends there should be work for the next few weeks. Not sure how steady it will be, though.

    I picked up a 5 Year badge, so I'm sending the rest of my cache back to the server for those needier than I.
