I am swapping tasks differently on 2 almost identical rigs.

One is sending nonVLARS from CPU to GPU, and the GPU queue keeps increasing (on most days) into the hundreds.

On the other, I am using my semi-automated script (w/o Mr Kevvy's script)to send Guppis from GPU to CPU, and after 3 days of doing so, the CPU queue has gone from 100 to slightly more than 200.

The later scenario had occurred to my sole alpha tester on a Core2Duo rig with a GTX 9x0, but I had assumed it was normal since the GPU:CPU ratio was greater than 10:1.

But with my 2 almost identical rigs, I am left wondering:
- Is this just an anomaly based on the fact that the server sometimes sends much more of one type of task; or
- Is the server actually sending a different ratio of nonVLAR:guppi to the GPU than the CPU queues?
    Additional details
    ==================
    On my NV_SoG app rig with GTX 750 Ti, I am using Mr Kevvy's script to swap nonVLARs to GPU with Guppis to CPU.
    It is processing per day almost twice as many nonVLARs on GPU (~100 tasks/day) as Guppis on CPU (~54 tasks/day).
    My GPU queue is increasing on most days well into the hundreds and if I didn't manage it in other ways, could top the 1k.

    On my Cuda50 app rig with also a GTX 750 Ti, I am using my semi-automated script (made prior to Mr K's release) to move Guppis from GPU to CPU.
    It is processing per day twice as many nonVLARs on GPU (~110 tasks/day) as Guppis on CPU (~54 tasks/day).
    During the last 3 days, my CPU queue has increased from 100 to slightly over 200.


Any thoughts if the Server might be sending diff ratios of tasks?
