Yes, anecdotally, my daily points tally has been about 70K when crunching other projects and about 50K when crunching HST or FAAH2 with their long running WUs.

I'm also seeing huge mismatches between claimed and awarded points and a low average points per hour (which obviously translates into low points per day)

A couple of recent example WUs....

Here we see 28 and 35 hours of crunching getting almost the same points:

HST1_ 007374_ 000042_ KC0019_ T350_ F00040_ S00008_ 0-- wcg Valid 26/08/16 10:36:29 31/08/16 11:25:28 34.91 / 35.06 376.4 / 415.6
HST1_ 007421_ 000077_ MC0022_ T300_ F00072_ S00008_ 0-- wcg Valid 27/08/16 11:37:33 01/09/16 05:06:24 28.10 / 28.42 348.2 / 408.5

Here we see very similar crunching times getting wildly different points:

HST1_ 007421_ 000077_ MC0022_ T300_ F00072_ S00008_ 0-- wcg Valid 27/08/16 11:37:33 01/09/16 05:06:24 28.10 / 28.42 348.2 / 408.5
HST1_ 007372_ 000063_ KC0011_ T350_ F00080_ S00008_ 0-- wcg Valid 26/08/16 10:28:11 31/08/16 22:17:12 27.86 / 28.16 355.7 / 322.8

I've not seen rewards vary so wildly for other projects but then I've not seen such huge variability in WU crunching times either. My points for my Emerald year of HST were 1.2 million, after getting Sapphire it was 2.0 million, so only 0.8 million more.

I guess it is what it is and if you're in it for the stats then this project will disappoint! It's hard to get the WUs so I'll probably pack it in when I get to 5 year diamond. Maybe CEP2 will have returned by then with the silly 18 hour processing time limit removed. This project proves that 18 hours does not indicate there's a problem!

What are your system specs and what other programs are you running at the same time ?
Cheers

All HSTb get 10 days deadline, so not sure what's there to sort. v.v. W10, install BOINC as service and sign-out when not using system... on 2 of 3 systems here this resulted in 30-35 percent more throughput because W10 loves to load up on bunches of background processes to snoop and index and resnoop on the signed inuser, plus some they've really deeply hidden. /OT

I am concerned with Wu with T350 in the name. They seem to take 24 hours -
Not the estaimated 7 hours.

Question: Is there a separate forum thread somewhere that adresses these running times???
I have looked - just didn't see it

I am not that concerned with points. I am concerned that I could be running WU for WCG that produce results in a timely fashion.

Am I wrong? Is the long-running WU important because it takes a long time?

FOUND the answer:

(edited to clarify question)

No I personally feel people that aren't worried about points would enjoy getting to work units easily
