Yes, it&#8217;s that slow. Most of our systems are older and the generators work best if they are accessing a video card GPU rather than a computer CPU.<\/p>\n<p>I stuck a generator on Mrs. Webmaster&#8217;s laptop and it just crawled to the point that it really wasn&#8217;t worth the effort. Oddly enough, we have the Webmaster&#8217;s Real World Work laptop and a new desktop sitting around that are crunching through at a far higher rate.<\/p>\n<p>Oh well, it&#8217;s not like this is something we&#8217;re going to get rich on, especially since the Feds will probably shut it down soon enough.
