Did not plot the data [that's what I do], noticed my Pending Validation/Verification hours to increase and increase and increase. For 16.65 days worth of results per earth revolution, have now the number of 573.45 hours in PV or 34.44 hours per fulltime core. Never have seen such a high fulltime-core number in times of normal validator operation [It takes for a quorum complete result about 12 seconds to show the ValidationState flip to 1 = Valid]. This PV value is with about a 1 day cache [the runtimes vary, so return times vary with that, but hardly ever topping 36 hours]. So with 34.44 hours/core and ~1 day buffer, it take my set of results near 50 hours to get through onto the MC page.

I'd imagine, the smaller the cache, the larger the validation 'latency', but have not really been keeping numbers on that. Added to that, MCM1 is pretty much grabbing 80% on multi-project profiled devices and then some UGM, which are wingman required projects. On the whole, probably 90% requires wingman [Devices being 'reliable', most often waiting on the _0 originals to come back].

Getting to the question: What's your hours per core PV value?

NB: The old adage is that 'correlation is not causation', so my linking summer to the PV rise is circumstantial... no hard evidence.
