Thank you, Loadie
That is rather early. We are now about at 36.6% and the target is reduced to March 2023. Mike |

The interval between iterations has been fairly steady at about 6 days. This time it was only 2! Last time that happened, the next interval was 11 days which brought the average back to 6.2 days.
I presume that they hold back the next iteration until they run out of units to send. On this occasion there may have been a temporary lull in the return of previous iterations so they filled in with the new batch early. Mike |

I received an 068 on 26 May. Another short duration. There has been a significant increase in the number of units returned. We are at about 37.2% complete.
The target is unchanged at March 2023 due to dropping off a short interval result. Mike |

On the subject of stragglers...
ARP1_0026459_058_0/_1 issued around 15:45 UTC on 27th May - 3.5 day deadline, of course! (And I got my first 068 task about 8 hours later...) Cheers - Al. |

The stragglers record of a lag of 20 iterations is held by entity (46-66).
Any advance on that? Mike |

The stragglers record of a lag of 20 iterations is held by entity (46-66). Mike I am guessing they must've found these stragglers in a cupboard somewhere because the work unit was only created 2 days ago. What I'm saying is these do not appear to be your normal resends Created: 05/29/2021 21:37:09 Deadline 6/2/21 09:40:26 I can confirm as above the latest batch I have is 68  |

It doesn't work like that. They only create a work unit when its predecessor with the same number (the 7 digit part) is validated. That then joins the queue. But if the iteration is at least 2 behind it is given a deadline of only 3,5 days without it being a re-send. That way they hope it will begin to catch up with the main flow. Mike |
