Slow RC5 Performance in Linux

[Macho]

Anyone have any ideas how to speed up the clients performance in Mandrake 8.1? I was doing almost twice the speed under Win2k. I recently switched over to Linux and now my performance is waaaaaay down. Even when my system is at idle (ok, screensaver running), I'm getting about 2M key/sec (I think that's what the units are) whereas in Win2k I was doing about 4M.

I'm using the client off Distributed.net...

Any help would be appreciated...thanks.

Out of curiousity are you using Nautilus? I have the same problem under the Mandrake install of Gnome. Seems Nautilus uses "idle" time to reindex your hard drive over and over again. Try either logging out when you are not using the machine or switching over to KDE.
