Target05 is nearly complete and target06 work units will be sent out when target05 work units are depleted. They will not run in parallel although you may still see resends for target05.

I figure at the very LEAST it will be 10 days til the target 05s are done, and that's only assuming that everyone that has them completes them in the first 10 days. From my end here, I've gotten a LOT of _1s and _2s for target 05, and even a few 03s here and there, meaning it could take up to 18 days yet for some of them to be returned.

Personally (and I know it's mainly just wishful thinking on my part) I wish some people (those that have slower machines, mainly, or HUGE caches of work units, or BOTH) would put their cache at 0.5 days or smaller, then so many people wouldn't have to wait 2 weeks for the units to get validated.

Buggs, > 90% of the work is returned in under 4 days. Whilst we can wish for this and that preference by all other members so you can have your instant validation credits, there is an endless diversity of crunchers that will be running in default setting and don't have their machine on but for an hour / few hours to browse the web, do mail and run on power saving preset profile (host goes to sleep without user input). It's just part of facilitating the widest possible participation and luck of draw. My oldest PV is April 29 ATM. Yesterday it was one of the 22nd (thanks to running WCGDAWS the daily snapshot recorded that). In worst case scenario it's 14 days for a no-problem task... we'll survive :O)

As for batch, target , experiment completion, I let that be the techs worry. We crunch far faster than the scientists can interpret the complete data set, and well before target05 finish, target 6 setup was defined for seamless continuation. No throttling required in this round. :O)

... That is because the servers put the estimate in the header of what the returned result averages are of the previous days. Until T5 is in majority flushed, you'll see a curve rather than a step change.
