reset puzzle 882 run script and show output. you should score 7946.788
output will show you how long it took. see how fast you get.

Very small script that runs WiggleAll for 10 iterations, timing the result.

Proper use:
Bring up puzzle 882. Reset it, set wiggle power to auto.

Run the script. Read the script output window. It'll give a time in seconds as well as start and end scores.

Record the times in comments here, please, along with the number of clients that were running at the time.

I was a bit disappointed, two of my home computers performed lower than expected, especially the HP notebook (quad core i7) though it was running 4 clients. Number of clients includes the test script client.

HP desktop:   17, 17, 17   3 clients
ASUS desktop: 25, 24, 24   3 clients
Yoga 2 Pro:   35, 35, 35   2 clients
HP notebook:  52, 52, 51   4 clients
Dell desktop: 52, 52, 54   2 clients
