I had some really bad ones come in when GC 5.14 was released. They took longer, and really caused problems on the slowest Win98 machine, with freezes and hangups. The new ones in the last couple of days are better, and the Win98 machine ran one overnight with no problems.

@Kremmen For good order WCG will not contact clients unless in the highest exception and only if the personal profile permits. From that perspective it is deplorable but unavoidable that computers at times will 'waste' cpu time. "Unavoidable" is just plain wrong. What was the point of my clicking the "World Community Grid plans to occasionally send out information and/or updates via e-mail. Please check the box if you would like to receive information updates from World Community Grid" box if you're not going to bother sending email when there's a rather important update on WCG? One simple 2-line automated email to all those running genome comparisons is all it would have taken. Of the 2 other machines doing the stuck job that I was on, one returned "No Reply" while the other returned " Error 03/20/2007 11:06:07 03/28/2007 11:30:34 156.35 857.0 / 0.0" How about you run a scan of your logs and work out how many years of CPU time WCG wasted by not bothering to tell anyone?

Whether WCG deviates from their past approach to minimize mail to clients I don't know, but they are aware of your post.
