Hi all,
I saw that for seti@home there are some optimized clients for different cpu types. In my case the optimized client takes 15% shorter time to complete a WU. Is there some optimized client for LHC too?

The LHC application (SixTrack) is one of the applications used as a benchmark by compiler writers to optimise their compilers. Ergo, Sixtrack is already an optimised application. However, there are issues with the numerical accuracy of differing processors and maths libraries such that the only clients are the ones available from LHC@home. The source code isn't available, nor is it likely to be.
