i use the FAHViewer remotely. does this incur any overhead on the folding machine?

I don't know, I haven't tried that experiment but it should not be hard to occasionally interrupt the viewer and look at the estimated PPD from FAHControl for that machine and compare it to the PPD's when you are not viewing. Try to use the same WU for both and at least let it run for 3 frames on each to allow the PPD's to stabilize.

using p8056(62,21,11) there was no difference in frame times with the viewer on. there was no difference in ppd with the viewer on. so short answer: no. at least according to my observations over 3 frames with viewer on and 3 frames with viewer off.
