On my BOINC Manager computer screen are columns WORK DONE and AVG. WORK DONE? Is it in minutes of use or something else? I have 5241.13 and 114.65 shown, respectively, in those columns today.

A very basic explanation might be; the WORK DONE is based on how much your computer has contributed. This is measured in 'credits, or 'cobblestones', but not in time since some computers can do more than other computers in the same time.

AVG. WORK DONE is based on the same as WORK DONE, but is measuring how well your computer is doing currently, or since recently, hence known as RAC - Recent Average Credit.

My WORK DONE is fairly high, but my RAC is about to drop like a stone since all my BOINC credit contributions have just come to a DEAD STOP.
