Looks like I'm gonna have to stick one foot in the carburator and push with the other to even make a showing! But this is a great race, who ever came up with the one dual core each? That really makes it interesting.
So the take home message is - avoid those Woodall tasks.

Personally, I have found the TPS tasks are quick (sub 5 minutes) but only yield about 14-15 points per hour. The PPS_LLR tasks take a bit longer (about 5-6 minutes each) and yield about 25 points per hour. The best points however seem to come from PSP Sieve tasks (PSP_sr2sieve) which take about 55 minutes each and yield about 45 points per hour.

This was under Windows XP Pro 64bit with an Athlon64 X2 6000+ @ 3.23 GHz with 4GB DDR2 1066 Corsair dominator ram.
As always YMMV.
