I've received lower-than-usual credit for several work-units named PSH_nnnn... (where nnnn is a number, such as 0080 or 0121).

PSH workunits:
https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/workunit.php?wuid=43868507
https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/workunit.php?wuid=43793087


Non PSH work units on the same machine:
https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/workunit.php?wuid=43712893
https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/workunit.php?wuid=43639909

Another machine PSH work units:
https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/workunit.php?wuid=43981878
https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/workunit.php?wuid=43932643

Non PSH work units on this machine:
https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/workunit.php?wuid=43826140
https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/workunit.php?wuid=43700796

There's a factor 1.5 or so between the PSH and non-PSH work units in credit.

Is there a particular reason for this?

This is being carried to the point of being absurd on one of my machines.This workunit was granted only 4 credits for a claimed 120 (31k CPU secs on an X2 4800+; this machine is usually granted slightly more than it claims).

This PSH workunit run on a Xeon 5150 doesn't get such an absurdly low credit, although it is lower than other workunits run on that machine.

Any ideas what is going on?

is this not the same as previously which appeared to be due to an abnormally high number of failed WUs, which I believe are still included in the averaging, and therefore drag the average down toward 0?

..This workunit was granted only 4 credits for a claimed 120...
What is the relationship of granted credit to the number of decoys produced? This workunit produced 7 decoys for which you should get more than 4 credits but not 120(?) edit: One of my PSH tasks produced 92 decoys after running 28k seconds and was granted 53 points. The ratio of 92/53 is roughly the same as 7/4. But how this ratio compares to non-PSH tasks I didn't check.
