i'm not sure with the credits but i have a question about it.
If i've finished a normal WU (Default = 3ours) I only claimed ~15 Credits, its such the half what other claimed.
The CPU time is about 10000s and i've got a 3,00Ghz processor :/

The credit claim is based on the standard BOINC benchmarks, which are easily modified to make enormous credit claims. The granted credit is based on the number of models you completed and how much computing power it is taking other users to complete models on the same task.

I didn't see a WU where you claimed 15 and were only granted half of that. In fact your results looked to be very consistently near the claimed credits. Some variation is normal. In fact, for some machines, a large varience is normal, either up or down from the claim.

The only low credit claims I see in your list are with tasks that you didn't crunch as long. This can happen when models take a long time to complete. You may only crunch one or two models and to begin a third would exceed your 3hr preference, so the task stops there and reports in. It claims less credit because it took less time.
