Somthing i have been thinking of.

Sins Bionic is "adjusting" estimated time of wu, right now many wu in que ,I just hope that the "big" wu-s don't start and it only comes bigones. Because then the finish times of the lates wu-s might not get in on time.

Can anyone confirm or correct my "fears".

The ones I have been getting today seem about one third longer than the previous ones....

That would only be a problem to people who hoard work units. I sometimes stock up to get about a day's worth (maybe 40 or 50 work units on my faster PC's), but usually have my settings at somewhere between 0.1 and 0.5 days.

If work units get longer, I'll still be able to meet the deadlines with plenty of time to spare except if one of my computers develops serious problems.

EDIT: If we suddenly jump from 10 minute work units to 4 hour (or longer) work units, I guess even a day's worth could be too much. But I haven't seen jumps THAT big

Just took a look at what I have and it appears they may be about twice as long. The older ones did 10 iterations. The new ones appear to be doing 20.

Quoting myself above... I have now seen a jump that's about 4 to 5-fold, with 1hz6a work units taking much longer (about 1.75 to 2 hours on an overclocked Athlon 64 3700+, San Diego core) than others we've had recently (some as little as 20-25 minutes, most around half an hour).

People who have been keeping large caches of the previous work units could run into deadline problems if their BOINC client thinks the WUs will take half an hour.

Yup, they have just about doubled for me...now just over 2hours...

what setting have you found most productive in your OC efforts? 230x11, vdimm 2.95 (ocz gold EVP memory)HTT 4x 1.4875 Vcpu is about as fast I can seem to get it for now.

It's stable at 240 x 11 (2640MHz) at stock voltage. Temp rarely gets above 55 Celcius with the stock AMD box cooler. It's got cheap PC3200 RAM (underclocked to 188.5MHz at CAS 2.5 - playing it safe)

I've actually had it fire up at 260x11 but not stable (and couldn't see the HDD)
