(moderation:
A new Einstein@home ABP1 App for Windows is available for Beta Test at Beta Test Page.
Looks like using the pre-release MinGW gcc-4.4 significantly sped up the (Windows) Application.
This is a big package to download, as it contains the 3.11 ABP1 application as well as the current 3.05 S5R5.
app_info.xml does contain entries for ABP1 3.07 thru 3.10 and S5R5 3.05, tasks assigned to older apps will error out.
Please test and report.

Thanks. My rough impression

Thanks. My rough impression is that the speed gain is larger on AMD than on Intel, at least with the Core2 architecture.

Although the speedup is not as impressive as we've seen on one of our test machines, this App isn't slower than 3.10 and apparently not causing trouble, so I made this the new "official" Windows App. Thanks for testing!

RE: Drain your cache

Yep, that's the recommended way. Although the app version is identical to the official one, the signature is not (there is no signature in the app_info.xml). If you just remove tha app_info.xml and restart the client, it will find the app binary doesn't match the signature, mark all results in progress as client error and start downloading the app again, this time with the correct signature.
