@Grinder - the Compute4Cash client has a few auto-adjusting performance parameters that take a few minutes to settle down.  Once settled at full throttle it should mostly stay around 98%-99% if you are not doing anything else with your computer.

Compute4Cash is no more a scam than Bitcoin, and Bitcoin is certainly not a scam either.  Please refrain from slandering the Compute4Cash name - it really isn't necessary nor is it called for.

While of course we are not happy with the the orchestrated efforts to 'expose' Compute4Cash, we knew it was only a matter of time before this happened and we are not mad about it.  What does bother us however are the comments that essentially claim that Compute4Cash is screwing people over.  Yes, there are other alternatives to Compute4Cash that should yield higher profits for users, but Compute4Cash offers additional value over what the alternatives provide, and there is of course a premium to be paid for that.  Some may believe that this 'premium' is too high right now, but that only applies for right now.  Things are constantly changing and we expect to adjust our premium to be more reasonable in the near future, and we also expect that as the Bitcoin system and markets continue to grow and adjust themselves that this will also bring our premium to a more reasonable level.

Another thing that bothers us is the attempt to persuade our users to jump ship - one thing that Compute4Cash has done very differently from other alternatives is that we have engaged in paid-for advertising to grow our user base.  We have paid a substantial amount of money to share this opportunity with other people, knowing also that at some point in the future this would equate to advertising for Bitcoin and getting more people involved.  We therefore have invested in each and every user we have, so in a sense when you tell people to leave Compute4Cash you are running off with a portion of our investment.  If it weren't for our advertising efforts very few, if any, of our users would be aware of Bitcoin or making money in this way right now - that alone justifies not only a premium over the <10% profit margin of other pools, but it also justifies our expectation of being treated with decency.

@BlueMatt - The Compute4Cash client is not poclbm.  It is based on the same kernel, with a minor modification, but the Compute4Cash client is an original C++ program.  Compute4Cash offers a different kind of service than Bitcoin pools do so please stop comparing Compute4Cash to Bitcoin pools and concluding that Compute4Cash is a ripoff - you are not comparing apples to apples and we do not appreciate your slander.
