I suspect everyone's RAC will "hiccup" during the transition to enhanced also..

I'm very curious how this "new kid on the block?" ;-) will do

I just looked at your results. From the time/unit you should be doing about 3 units/'8hr day', but only see 2/day. Three/day would get about 70 credits/day but two is only going to get 48ish.

For some reason in the past you may have crunched too many for Seti and the scheduler is claiming back time. I cannot think of any thing else that would affect only Seti.

N.B. You will note that units marked seti enhanced ver 5.12 will start appearing in your work/task tab, these units use a different method to calculate credit, this may change the average credits awarded in Seti.

For the longest time I was in the upper 60s to upper 70s for ave credit. Over the past 2 weeks it has just dropped and dropped everyday, down to under 60 now? Are they sending "longer" work units? I run Boinc about 15-20 hrs a day steady (when at work and sleeping) I also run Einstein@Home and Rosetta. Einstein is running a steady 65-70 ave cred, Rosetta is in the mid 50s. I run Boinc with the "switch apps every 60 mins" so in a 24hr session each project should get 8hrs.
