Did they nerf the credit being given out or am I just getting shorter WUs?

In the past I have been getting 74 credits per WU almost without exception. Just today (which started today), I notice that I'm only getting 25~35 credits per WU.

I do see the claimed credit and CPU time has gone down, so I can only assume these latest WUs are shorter, or is everyone seeing this behavior also?

there are 2 types of WUs at the moment:

normaly 3 Stream (so 74 Credits) and some few 2 Stream WU (called gs_82test_2Stream_1....)

2 Stream = faster, less calc --> less credits

Hmmmm, I am seeing the following:

ps_82test_2stream = 27.80 creds (new WUs)
ps_82test_3stream = 37.18 creds (new WUs)
gs_s222_3s = 74.24 creds (old WUs)

And yes, the new test WUs are much shorter. ;-)
Lovely greetings, Cori

I'm also seeing a few of these; ps_82test_2stream = 0.00 creds

The 74 cred WUs are 3-stream, but double wedge thickness, hence double computation and double credit.

Okay, sounds good. Now if I could just keep AQUA from messing up the manager all the time, I'd be happy LOL

Hello MW@Home,

Borandi is correct, for the past 2 weeks we've been running 5 degree stripes and since Saturday we've been running 2.5 degree stripes. This translates to half as many nu steps and thus half as large WUs.
