Thanks for the info on blanking the display.  I noticed the option, but
didn't realize it would make such a large difference in processing time.

I agree that SETI has a small chance of ever succeeding.  It fascinates
me that so many people are fascinated by it and wish to be a part of it
(as I have decided to do).  Like, what are the chances of any sort of
transmission getting to us from another solar system ungarbled and what
would we do with it if we got it?  Besides, I'm not so sure that the use
of radio waves is a sign of an advanced civilization.  Technology sure
doesn't seem to have made any basic difference in who and what we are
(eg. Bringing peace to Kosovo via war).
