The points hounds may worry about the inconsistency of results.
----------------------------------------today I have one rig that during the period of work 10 pages back or 150 results ago was claiming and getting 51 points per hour. now I see that the last 2 or 3 pages it is running at a rate of 15 points per hour. These are scientific types and programmers running the show. You might be led to believe that getting this fixed is considered something akin to rocket science. I enjoy the points hunt as well as the hope of us all doing something beneficial that may lead to cures. I find this disheartening. It leaves me disappointed to think that what is essentially THE metric by which we compare our contributions is not considered to be important enough to resolve the issues. How then, I wonder, do those that are in this for more mercenary reasons feel?  |

Nothing as low as 15PPH so far, but anywhere from 20 to 40 PPH, regardless of the length of the WU. The autodock units are pretty steady in the 20PPH range. Also see quite a few repair units which appear to be mostly the result of "user abort." Cheers
