To clarify: Is this the new "BOINC" client for SETI AT Home, or the older
standalone version? I never had a speed problem with the older
version, but I did with the BOINC one.

The latest snapshot does work to fix these problems for me. The
problem I first saw, actually, was a severalfold(~50 times) slowdown
in scp, which I got to go away by pausing the BOINC client(which is
running both SETI AT Home and ClimatePrediction software). But yesterday
I discovered that starting up Cygwin shells was also slow. The
snapshot fixes the scp problem as well.
