I have recently had this WU (BETA_FAHB_avx38783-ls_000054_0003_004) on one of my PC's - it would appear to have completed OK - not yet validated - but I did note that although trickle was activated, when compared to a previous beta, this one took much longer to get the first trickle time registered on the WU progress column. It would also appear to have run to 28 hours but only registered 20 on CPU - but I know that the CPU time was over 24 hours and it was still only 85% complete when I left the office - so not quite sure why there is now an 8 hour difference between the CPU and elapsed times considering it was still processing hard only 6 hours ago!!

No, everyone has noticed points credit is as broken as it has ever been. Given the variable number of steps before soft stops i.e variable size of jobs, zero expectation. Dead horsy beating.

Many would, a few won't.

Ok, the points granted based on trikcle messages are calculated from the averages returned from the grid. The value you claim is different, thus why sometimes it bounces like you have seen. I know some members worry about points, but I figured to grant even amounts the whole way through was best at the time, that way if your computer stopped at say step 40k, then you would get a good granted credit. Instead of doing say half credit per 10k on trickle messages, then the last 10k gets a huge boost. It isn't perfect, but I will see if it needs tweaking.

very safe to assume unless we need to fix something.

Thank you everyone for your help in this last BETA. It has been extremely helpful.
