What's the typical backlog for verification of work units for most people? I've got a few that go all the way back to 05 july, and the stack seems to be growing larger over time.

What's the typical backlog for verification of work units for most people?

Depends on the WU & who else it's been sent to.
The present bunch of VLARs I have at the moment have a deadline of 2nd of October- pretty much 2 months (shorter running WUs have a 3 week deadline).
If the other person doesn't return a valid result in that time it will be sent to another machine. If they don't return a valid result in 2 months it will be sent to another machine. If they don't return a valid result in 2 months it will be sent to another machine. This can happen up to 9 times, so that would be 18 months.
Usually it only happens once or twice. 3 times is pretty unusual, but not unheard of.


EDIT- in addition to that the Validators have been having issues over the last couple of weeks so the validation of results that have been returned have been delayed above & beyond the deadline delays.

EDIT- also the last couple of extended outages (for the DB upgrade & then the copying) have exacerbated things also.
