For the past 6 months, I have been falling back on results returned but have been holding almost steady on cpu time and points. Today a member passed me in results returned with over 35,000 results yesterday. I have more than 50 times that member's cpu time and a hundred times more points. The 35,000 results are about 1700 per device. With an average of around 260 results a day to 1700 results per device, it would seem a little strange. I suspect some kind of cheating going on here,

My guess is the person with whom you are concerned is probably running strictly FAAH. They have been having extremely short units as have been noted elsewhere. They only have 25:200:07:06:16 in time but have 1,363,538 results. That would be about an average of about 9 minutes and 40 seconds per result. If the person with whom you are concerned has better than average systems, their average time per result is probably less than the overall average. You already make a great contribution and if you ran exclusively FAAH you would probably get a similar number of results.

My own person experience; I run several machines but a 30 thread server is my main contributor. Some days I run FAAH almost exclusively and on days with extra small FAAH I can run up 5k or 6k WUs. It looks super impressive but the WUs are so small at times.
