Have you actually noticed BOINC being slow and have you tracked the performance problem down to an inefficient memory allocator? BOINC devs are quite fond of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

It seems to be easy to ​try out any improvements.

One problem: Hoard is released under the GPL, BOINC is LGPL.

comment:5 Changed 17 years ago by elfring

Is the combination of GPL and LGPL really problematic?

comment:6 Changed 17 years ago by Nicolas

Ask a lawyer? :P A GPL program can use LGPL libraries, but not the other way around without making the program GPL.

This has nothing to do with setup. It's not really an enhancement, either - more of a general suggestion.
