It took about 24 hours before my SETI credits finally showed up on BOINC Stats, and it is less than the number granted when I saved this post. Is there an expected delay involved here?

The stats are generated in an XML file, approximately once a day. The stat sites then grab that data after it's been generated. None of it is real time. It's been explained that it takes a couple of hours for the XML file to be generated, and is a pretty big hit on the database.

Some projects update twice a day, but they have a lot less crunchers than SETI.

Also, it takes a quorum of results before credit is actually granted. As long as you don't have credit, you don't show up in the XML file. The earliest credit you got was on the 21st of May, which may well have been after the creation of the XML file for that day.

So add another 24 to 48 hours before you show up in the XML file and can be found on the stats sites.
