According to this thread...
http://bbc.cpdn.org/forum_thread.php?id=138

it is (or should be) around 227 credits per trickle, and each trickle only happens once every simulation year.
And one full simulation runs for 160 years, so that gives... alot of credits! (I'm too lazy to do the math :P)

Yea, I guess so.
Do you leave the pc on 24/7? If so, and if you keep the same speed, you'll have those 72,640 credits in less than 3 months. :)
And maybe that time could even be trimmed a little more if you don't run other cpu intensive stuff on the machines, and especially not the BBC screensaver, it's quite cpu intensive.
