My machine used to crank out work units every 2 hours. I upgraded my version of boinc a little while ago and now it takes about three and a half hours to do a workunit. Has something changed in the way that time is tracked (I've noticed the progress bar now advances in a more linear fasion), or should I be worried that something else on my computer is eating up processor cycles? (and why can't my computer do 2 hour work units anymore? wah wah whine whine :( :( )

I'm running an athlon FX-53 box, so no HT anomolies here
