    The high initial estimates are deliberate.
    This is to prevent a newly attached client from getting flooded with work.
    The estimate comes down very quickly as more work is completed and the BOINC core revises the estimates downwards based on actual completion times.

    [edit- oops - NeoGen already said that, a bit more economically too. -edit]
