Okay, this is a weird thing that's happened to me twice already and wondering if it's just a computer thing or maybe a WU problem. I started crunching a work unit, (12ja05aa.19324.6913.742326.44_0) at 9:13:30 Hawaii Standard Time and subsequently began a second unit at 9:21:45 Hawaii Standard Time. I came back to look at the status of the crunching at 10:57 and saw that while the unit beginning at 9:21 was already over an hour and 20 minutes crunching, the 9:13 unit had only shown around 39 minutes worth of computer time. Just curious on what happened for those extra 50 minutes or so.

Yeah, I'm in Hawaii. Why am I indoors? Good question, must like to share the sympathy with everyone else who's stuck in the nice weather up north. :)

BTW, that workunit wasn't because it was shorter, it still took me 3 hours and 52 minutes to finish. What I meant was that the computer seemingly stopped working on that unit while it continued with the other one just as if nothing happened. That's the odd part about it.
