Let your computer crunch numbers for research in it's idle time. I have it running on my home computer which is on 100% of the day and barely used. I thought I'd lend a hand.

I also started a SBA group if anyone else wants to join it. Once you install the software, you can input your team number. SBA's is 59416. It keeps statistics of what we all contribute at the link below.

There are two different settings, like large and small. The small one pumps out more results but the large ones processes larger work orders. Mines on large so that might be why I have smaller output. Just a theory. And also the computer I'm running it on is pretty slow so I'm sure that doesn't help.

That just sounded like: "Yo, my tires are shot" or "I need new brake pads" or even, "He's got a pipe on his bike".
