I have been alerted that certain classes of system continue to experience extremely low primespersec values. Upon investigation it seems certain systems have performance problems with the sieve, causing extended sieve round time. A temporary fix is now pushed to github. Please note I don't have enough time yet to fully test this solution, so try it out first to see if this resolves your system's problems.

https://github.com/primecoin/primecoin/commit/338e61568a32e74fa112edf1f3d8eee8d6780ae9

Please report back if this resolves your performance issues.

Update (July 14):

More sieve optimization:

Is there any clue to what kind of systems affected by this issue? I wonder whether my Intel Atom is just too slow to compete, BTW I have OpenSUSE 11.4.

First MasterCoin protocol transaction -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=265488.msg2940318#msg2940318; please refer to thread disclosed for more information

From the reports I have gathered, it impacted some server systems with high thread count, yes it may impact atoms as it's threads are relatively slow.

What about AMD based systems?

SunnyKing is the only one who can be trusted to compile it. It would be helpful if the files had md5 just to verify the integrity of the compiled files.

On my Intel I7 notebook - Huge boost ~ 150 - 200 pps increase

The rest of my systems are AMD -

FX 8320 and FX 6300 - still need to compile  and test

phenom 2 975 - nice boost ~ 150 pps increase

Athlon 2 tri-core - Little boost

Ancient Athlon 64 dual core (S939) - Little increase (interesting side note: This unit has produced the most blocks... Cheesy  )

I will post the results of the FX units as soon as I compile on those systems.
