This discrepancy means the WU cache is way lower than it should be. Is there a way to get BOINC to recalculated it's estimate of "to completion" time? ID: 126794 ·

What is your machine & CPU spec? Regards, Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) ID: 126798 ·

A x10 miss by the benchmarking is interesting. What is your machine & CPU spec? Regards, Martin It's an 800MHz P3 running Win ME. I think the problem is that /occasionally/ it's used to run a game that takes all the CPU cycles, so whilst it normally takes 10 hours it may some times take 40 or 50 hrs. I'm wondering if some measurement has been done when it's been in game mode which has skewed the guesstimate. So really just looking for a way to reset the calculation. ID: 126837 ·

This should rerun the benchmark and takes about 1 minute to complete. During that time don't do anything. This will reset the predicted time to completion on all the work units but they will probably still be wrong. Boinc....Boinc....Boinc....Boinc.... ID: 126845 ·
