I just received WU lv783_00051_14 and at start of WU BOINC Client (5.10.45) is reporting 50+ hours to complete.
----------------------------------------After ~11 min of CPU client is now reporting 2.6% complete/48+ hrs to complete. I'm all to aware of the FAA 50+ hour WU's that were released (in fact suppressed any further WUs from that project after having output from three (3) devices severly impacted) but have not seen anything about HPF2 having the problem. I also encountered 50+ hour WU's for lv743_00005_17 and lv742_00071_12 which I aborted. I am letting the last one run for a while to see if it's a client est run time problem. Can anyone shed any light on why these WUs are reporting the excessive completion times? Processor: C2D T5600 WinXP SP2 2GB physical memory

I've seen indications that the bad results from the faah calculations affect the estimated runtimes of the other WCG projects enough that you will need to run a number of workunits from the other WCG projects to correct the time estimates on your machine.

That's entirely correct. Flipflopping from jobs with bad estimations effects all other jobs of the same Main Project, in this case WCG. It takes a few days to get the Duration Correction Factor back to normal.... or 10-20 jobs.
----------------------------------------There's great longing to have a DCF per sub-project and 1 or 2 other features to stabilize the estimated run times and shield them from mishaps. Sorry, but it will right itself.

robertmiles and Sekerob, thank you!
----------------------------------------The WU completed in 6.72 CPU hours. As noted in your posts it appears the DCF for most WUs on this device and the other two that were sent the extended FAAH projects are being incorrectly reported. I'll let them sort themselfs out over the next few days.
