I presume that results that get the "Couldn't validate - missing file", "Client error" or "No reply" outcome won't be used for anything. Right?

Should'nt those be cleaned from the list of results of the users who had this error?

maybe they should be cleanup out after the whole WU has been validated for a month, but not right away, because people like to know what has happened to their WUs and why they didn't get credit.

Erasing them from the database might also affect the number of WUs count... you may not have gotten any CREDIT for them, but they were assigned to you... it lets you see if you've been having d/l trouble or if you've got your cache set to high...

Perhaps a better way of doing this would be to have only the last I dunno, 1000 WUs visible, and just clearing them out after that... this would prevent the database from getting TOO huge, but would still let us look up our own recent histories.
