What are your system specs? Changing the priority will not make you fold any faster. As you have found out, it only leads to instability. Simply set it at idle priority and let it crunch away. Different WUs take different amounts of time to complete. Some could take a day to complete while others will be done in a few hours. To really make your folding go faster, add the
-advmethods flag to the shortcut of F@H. In the past at least, it would increase your chances of grabbing a Gromacs WU which incorporates SSE instructions. On most systems, this will net your more points/hour as it is far more efficient. Thank you for contributing.
BTW, this thread should have been posted in the distributed computing forum. Also, try to use titles that are descriptive of the topic at hand.
