Why does the chrome FAH app (which only uses the cpu) do WU faster than the client?

 

Much smaller, less intense work units.

The projects never end in my line of work.

I figured. I've noticed it rewards less points.

It does. But any work at all will help the cause :)

Yep, the Work Unit is small so you don't get as many points/completed unit.

Yeah, the Work Units aren't as difficult in chrome. You get more PPD when folding on the desktop app

As said above, they're smaller WUs, but the same type of work completed is the same AFAIK 

Specs: CPU: AMD FX 6300 Motherboard: Gigabyte 970A DS3P RAM: HyperX Fury 16GB 1866MHz GPU: MSI R9 270 OC edition Case: Sharkoon VS3-S SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB HDD: 1TB Caviar Blue PSU: Corsair CX500W

the wu's on the chrome ap are smaller then the client wu's the crome app is like 10 to 25MB for every wu the client cpu is up to 40 to 60 MB and the gpu wu's can vary from 80 to 160MB

Not sure where you are getting those numbers, but if wu's were that big my data cap would be facing a serious threat.

not even BA wu's were 160MB, and those were pretty hardcore compared to traditional wu's.

downloading yes but uploading a finished wu is much bigger.

well yeah, it makes sense that there would be more information to upload

compared to downloading when all the number crunching is done, but the

discrepancy isn't that massive.
