 <description>&lt;p&gt;I used to be signed up to a lot of these BOINC projects.  It&#039;s only worth it if you have access to a network of computers that don&#039;t get a lot of use.  Your average heavily-used desktop will take days to return a result.  It&#039;s also easy to become rather obsessive about your BOINC project stats.  I quit them all eventually in the interests of productivity and health.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That said, distributed computing is definitely A Good Thing - if you&#039;re sysadmin for a classroom.&lt;/p&gt;
