My times for completion look like a Roller Coaster ride. The times get shorter and shorter then suddenly they are over 112 hours to completion and some that were showing 25 minutes jump to 4 hours yet still finish in 14 minutes....At least this one just seems to be cosmetic and work is now flowing for a bit.

I think the server changes have affected DCF value calculation significantly, so "completion times" do vary a LOT more than they used to.

One of my machines all of a sudden is getting DCF > 1.0, which I never saw before the latest SETI follies; I have seen it vary from 0.8 to 2.6 just today.

My CPU times are still way off but my GPU completion times seem to be real close now. Haven't added anything to app file.
