World Community Grid - View Thread - User Preferred Length of Work Units

Saw this over at another Folding Project and saw it here directly / indirectly voiced as a desired option. Particular if more projects will start and HPF2 resumes. Thought occurred e.g. to have long units crunch at night time and short units during daytime. Obviously it would require quite a bit of rule design so as one group not draining all the short work and others only getting the long once that are hard to interrupt. As with Boinc's 'alternate work provision' it would allow a lot more tailoring toward individual needs.

Hey xxxxxx -- Noticed you once mentioned a reason you liked Rosetta was
"User setable length of Work units!"

Unfortunately, I'm not finding where that setting is.
In general preferences, or in boinc manager, or?

You'll find this feature in 'Your account' > xxxxx@home preferences > Target CPU run time.
