I've noticed that the timer "To Completion" doesn't really work, at first when it loads the WU it give the completion time as 8min or so. Actually when it is all over, it ends up being 8 to 10 hours. And yet the whole time the timer never really gets over 1hr and 45mins.

Yeah the seti app takes longer to get from 90% to 100% than it does to go from 0% to 50%. It is an artifact of the way the processing is done, each loop takes longer than the one before it.

There is also a problem with the serverside estimate it tends to be too long so the queue won't get as man workunits as you would expect.
