The Padlock for the nightly statistics run goes on for about 2 hours and looking at the posting time, you were right in the middle.

The nightly procedure of stats updates (individual and team and the recently added "by project" My Grid publishing) starts at 00:06 UTC, but before the shut-out begins, 15 minutes and longer can pass.

Now, before the "estimated" remaining run time was fixed, and 45 minutes sounds like another calibration is needed for the techs to look at.

cheers

Actually it's the lack of free time that prompted my post!

Think the interrelations are too strong. The Statistics page when fetched accesses the database and this in past has caused for the update process to grind to a halt. Creating a view that accesses the situation from the previous run would require the on-line (temporary) store of the last statistics information. With the added "by project contribution" feature to My Grid that seems a lot of information to replicate making the stats run longer again, i guess. At any rate it's an idea to pass to the web developer.

WCG is moving up to faster / bigger hardware and a newer DB version allowing more tricks, so at least expect lock out times to shorten, until we grow much bigger.

Two hours and 35 minutes to update ... and another hour plus at mid-day ... how antiquated. The countdown clock is a joke.
