Plus, it take folks a while to get through that first generation-0.

The scoring system that is constantly mentioned on the folding page has nothing to do with points for us; it's about giving the folds a fitness score, to pick which one to base the next generation on. With any luck, we'll get better RMSD with the latest scoring function.
My mistake. I thought I saw updated timestamps on core files earlier in the day. Apparently the update didn't happen until later last night... :shrug:

What is everybody else seeing for speed decreases? From the limited data I have on hand, I'm looking at about a 35% drop on my Barton 2300...
~6.3 gens/hour down from ~9.7 gens/hour.
