What is going on with the latest WUs I have been getting for my ATI card? They run almost twice as long, but I still get the same credit per WU... As a result my CPD has taken quite a plunge. Is the credit per WU going to be readjusted? I do believe that more work done per WU should also mean that I get more credit...

It still looks the same as before to me.
Your times are jumping from 145 to 195 -> suspicious
Compared to my times I would expect times of 100 - 110 on your card.
Your WU logs showing this error:
"Setting process priority to 0 (13): Permission denied"
For me that all points to a problem on your machine.

No change in credits or run times for me either.

180s is really slow for a Cypress. And your run times vary greatly, which is unusual for a well-running MW. Are you leaving a CPU core free for MW?

I changed nothing in my setup. This started some 3 days ago, before that my WUs ran in just under 100 sec, just like you said. I'll try if reserving a core makes a difference, but I never did that before either... Thanks!

Bad fan on the video card maybe. I lost the fan on my 5830.

Turns out it was a problem with the driver. Rebooted the system and forced a rebuild of the driver. Now things are back to normal. Thanks for the help!
