Actually... Seti@home will get "knocked down" by just anything.
This program works to "replace" the system waiting process and therefore
it's (usually) a low priority process. The Seti@home uses the process power
ONLY when no other process is using any system res.
If you change the priority of the Seti@home it will eat your CPU power up :)
This �RadioCom using 65 - 70% is not very strange... its just a question of
priority, not a question about real work done.
