How can the ready to send amount of WUs decrease from 1.200.000 to 750.000 in the last hour when the scheduler is off and nobody can download WUs? Is it a random generated number ? ID: 30884 ·  |

I asked this in another thread a couple of days ago. This was the reply from Paul Buck: "That number is not an exact number, its derivation is through some quick and dirty code. It was done that way to give us an indicator of availablitlty. For exact numbers we would have to poll the database and that is not something we want to do ..." ID: 30891 · |

ok - I miss this thread, but I think when you asked, the scheduler was on. So if Paul wrote it's dirty code, I think it's more a useless feature, because if you have a delta error of about 40% with the same basic data - it's more than useless - just a random number. If it is dirty code - I would accept a guess with an error of max 10% - but not over 20%! ID: 30936 · |
