P6015 (R1, C142, G6), extremely slow

[frag85]

I have now gotten a few of the 6015 WU's that appear to be extremely slow, taking hours to complete just 1%. In the task manager there appear to be 2 FahCore_a3.exe 's, each with 50% CPU utilization, and my CPU temperatures are at where they usually are when folding so IDK whats going on.

I tried deleting everything FAH related and making sure I had the correct checksum but the whole thing starts over again taking around 2 hours per %.

Did you configure the client as a service? Or are you purposely running two copies of the SMP client and with -smp 4 / -smp 3?

Either way, it is bad to run two clients; most people run the A3 core with -smp 7 or 8, spawning a single instance of Fahcore_a3. If that's what you did as well, then exit the currently running client, and terminate the remaining FahCore_a3 process. It might be a rogue or somehow locked up from an previous exit.

I deleted the work units and haven't gotten 6015 since then. Might have just gotten a string of bad WUs.
