Thanks for this improvement. I was a little worried that most of the workunits that were downloaded to my computer were not going to finish by the (too short) reporting deadlines, even with them "Running, high priority", running 100% of the time and using both processors. I'll see how much the time completion goes down now, but the workunits said one small number when originally downloaded, then almost 13 hours each after the computation was started. I'm not at all concerned with how long something would take if it needed that amount of time, and I am not really very concerned about points, but it would seem a shame to have all of the work treated as moot because of a too-short deadline.

Thanks again,

Matt Chambers

--It seems to be taking about 13 to 18 minutes now (so, up to 60 times faster).
