hello on my first WU with HFCC, it shot up to 7 percent within 10 minutes, then for the next 2 hours it fluctuated between 6 and 8.
Just wondering is this normal or is the percentage off? |

Hello edboy7,
Unusual - - but fluctuating percentage is normal as the algorithm decides that it has been going down a blind alley and backtracks to a lower percentage to start again in a different direction. 2 hours of wavering is not normal - you hit the jackpot. Lawrence |

These two phases (fast start, then iterations between two percentage bounds for a while) are normal for all HFCC WUs. What is unusual is the duration of the iteration phase, but maybe this is a very slow machine or a large part of its computing power is used by normal user activity?
