For other projects where they send out more then 1 WU, the points you are awarded are usually the average of the your WU and your wingmen WU (up to the quorum). But what happens for when there is no wingman? For this project I noticed sometimes I get 90% of what I ask for, other times I get 95% of what I ask for. Sometimes I even get more then 100% of what I ask for.

There's a reference mini test inside each task [see "the room of horrors", Start Here FAQ's on Zero Redundancy [ZR] for detail explanations). Depending how fast that mini test and is performed versus a reference test done with thousands of Beta jobs) and the actual job execution, an algorithm is applied to compute the grant also taking into account the claim / grant history for HFCC and FAAH **. There are some influences that can blow the grant but have now set for Windows to run automatically on "below normal" rather than full "idle" priority, using Process Lasso, which has stabilized the claim/grant application. For Linux the AutoDock jobs are best Re-nice'd to 6, which gives them a fairly stable credit.
----------------------------------------** The coming new project with work reference c4cw will use similar since it's also ZR
