My work unit takes now ver 7,5 hours at 91% and it says 0:45:05 for "To Completion". 3 hours ago (at 70%) it said 1:07:00 for "To Completion". At the beginning (at 0%) it said 1:25:00 for "To Completion"... and i didn't do anything else during meantime (i.e. full CPU for BOINC) ... this time measurement is totally useless. :-(

It is already known from the Beta test phase that the completion time is not accurate. But an improvement has been done.
Although, the time needed to complete a full processing will be more accurate when you will process WU's that has been downloaded in a second session.

Maddin, just wondering, what are your benchmarks? It looks like they might be way too high for what your computer can actually do. I don't think your screensaver would make THAT much difference.
