Got a couple AP units on one of my PCs a few hours ago. Instead of the usual roughly 1/2 hour - 3 hour completion time, these are calling for almost 37 hours each!

Where is the guy who casually mentioned there would be a 'slight' (I think that was it) increase in time/unit? With the continual server problems and my RAC still taking a nosedive, this should put it into the basement.

Ah, well - what we all do for science...

But they are worth more credit than the S@H tasks - your RAC will recover.

Hopefully so. And it seems the estimate has changed to 32 hours, not 37 as I originally posted (or maybe my glasses were dirty!).

Well, scratch that, too. Both of the AP units are now running and the guess has gone up to 40+ hours. Think I'll take a nap...

Impressive list of projects, John!
