Look, I know both my computers are geriatric in the extreme, I've got an original G4 400Mhz tower & a G3 Powerbook 400Mhz, but your work units are getting so big that I can't process them before the deadline is up! The last one I downloaded to my G3 now says 71 hours remaining!
We haven't all got MacBooks yet...

Sometimes it could happens that the computed esimate of the BOINC client is not exactly. Have you computed the esimated time to complete by the elapsed crunched time ?

My G4/400 usually takes no more than about twelve hours to crunch a 65- to 70-credit WU using an optimized application; with the stock v5.13 app it would take about double that time—but still nowhere near three days. Perhaps something’s bogging down your systems or, as Dotsch suggested, BOINC’s estimates are out of whack for some reason. What do those hosts’ dedication & efficiency statistics, particularly the RDF, look like?

Yeah, it seems to tally.

The old powerbook is very glitchy, I must say. But I don't think there's anything wrong with my G4.

I don't know what 'dedication & efficiency statistics' & 'RDF' are though...

They’ll be near the bottom of a host page in your account: “% of time BOINC client is running”, “While BOINC running, % of time work is allowed”, “Average CPU efficiency”, and “Result duration correction factor”. Only the host’s owner can see them; they’re not shown on the ‘public’ summary page.
