The following errors were displayed when 6.2.18 was started:

8/18/2008 12:56:09 AM||[error] FP benchmark ran only 1.528810 sec; ignoring
8/18/2008 12:56:09 AM||[error] CPU benchmarks error


Everything seems to be running okay.

Rerunning the bench marks works fine:

8/18/2008 7:50:58 AM||Suspending computation - running CPU benchmarks

From the FAQ:

Q. When running the benchmarks, I am getting an error that says "FP benchmark ran only 0.375000 sec; ignoring; CPU benchmarks error". Is there something wrong with my CPU?
A. This means that a higher CPU-bound process is running. Check in Task Manager (or equivalent) what is taking up the CPU, stop that process, then rerun the CPU benchmarks (Advanced->Run CPU benchmarks).

Always run your benchmarks when the CPU is not in use by higher priority programs.

I had my Carbonite Backup set to "Auto" and it was running as a higher priority than Boinc Seti. Changed it to midnight update and now Benchmarks run as always.
