I did the math.

I have a Quad Core Stock Clocked i5 3570K. It takes one core 3 hours to do one Rosetta task. On the weekends, the computer runs from 10:05 PM to 6:00 AM. Doing the math, during those hours, I only do 10 tasks. On the weekdays, It will be doing tasks from 9:05 PM to 2:00 PM the next day, and with that math I will only be doing 21 tasks.

With the above math, am I even contributing to the project?

Edit: Sorry wrong category.

Yes you are. Why not?

Just check your RAC (Recent Average Credit) and your Total Credit. These are the best indicators of how much you're contributing.

Edit: Can't wait to get my hands on an Ivy Bridge.

You are!

One thing to point out: Rosetta work units will take however much time to complete as you set them to in your account settings. They'll do X number of models and then send the results to the server and then start a new work unit. If you set it to 24 hours per work unit, they'll just do more models and you'll get more credit per work unit.
