I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro LAPTOP with a 900MHz processor (Intel) with 512MB RAM.
I have a Dell Dimension DESKTOP 800 MHz processor with 512 MB RAM.
I am running an engineering application on BOTH of them.
The Dell system will consistently do 850,000 calculations per second.
The Toshiba (with 100MHz more!) will start out at around 850,000 calculations and when I come check on it an hour later has dwindled down to 20k calculations/sec.
After I move the mouse around a little, the Toshiba begins increasing the rate of calculations (very slowly). If I stop the simulation and restart, it again starts off at 850K calculations per second.
This is really annoying. I have the power profile set to never go on standby, never turn off hard disks (ie. act like a desktop computer). Obviously something is not the same. Any ideas why the laptop is behaving like this? Any suggestions? Both are Win2k Pro SP4.
