hi been doing this for about 2-3 weeks now.
Noticed up until about 2-3 days ago for each completed project I would recieve a couple of points rise + or - on my recent average credit.
But for some reason as of about 3 days ago every time I complete a project I seem to get only a fractional increase in the recent ave credit .25-.50

So I decided to watch it closely today at 9:30 am I noted machine 1 had 52 results and machine 2 showed 52 results my recent ave credit was 304.24
Now here it is almost 8:00 PM both machines crunching today and results shows machine 1 with 50 results and machine 2 with 53 results and a recent combined ave of 305.67

I know both machines finished at least a couple of jobs today so what goes? the stats don't make sense to me.

How your RAC is calculated http://boinc-wiki.ath.cx/index.php?title=RAC

About your results.
After a while they get stored away in a databasefile so you can't se them.

RAC is basically the rate at which you produce results. It is averaged out over time and when you first start, you've sorta got some zeros out there from before you started that average in. So initially your RAC increases daily, but once you've crunched for the number of days used in the average, then it should maintain a steady level if you crunch steadily. Total credit keeps increasing.

If you think of the speedometer on odometer on your car, total credit corresponds to miles travelled on the odometer. RAC corresponds to the average speed of your travel, similar to your speedometer.
