Sneakernet for the whoopla!
Looks good hey. :D
One of my hex-core boxes hit a series of really short WU causing the estimate to come down to a few minutes, therefore it swallowed a couple of days worth of work so I took it off-line to complete while the others were all crunching away happily.
I saw the 3 day completion limit and had to put it back online to uploaded lots of completed work.
In the mean time Jason1478963 had pulled up to a stop so that made the pass for 1st inevitable. Unless, he is sneakernetting also? I'd better keep going. =O
Since Jason1478963 roared past me (I recon I could do some damage with those rigs of his) I hid my comps and ramped up to 20 cores including 2 laptops and a multicore VM, so the jump was deliberate.
There is no doubt that my Linux_AMD64 hosts complete the work much faster than WIn-32 (on Win-32 or on Win-64 running as WIn-32)
Also I suspect I may have benefited from the large variations in the points awarded.
Some of my Wus get very little and some are out of proportion.
That issue has been reported and is being looked at.
(It seems to be a common theme with the newer BOINC server versions. There is a fair amount of discussion about it here and there, some quite heated.)
