No I did not know about the mouse and CDrom speedups. This is probably useful for comp vs comp autoplay. I do know that nodes per second will drop if you move the mouse continuously while Rebel is thinking. For me I'm dependant on the mouse in Rebel and disabling the cdrom would cause a riot in my household. Do you or anyone else know why in dos mode there is a 60 mb hash maximum for Rebel? That for systems with 128MB or more of ram.
