Now they seem to take hours. What was changed in them and what is the general rule for the time it will take to finish a unit. I have other projects but still would like to help here without taking to much away from the others. Thanks ID: 6221 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

So, I cannot answer your question from this view point. Sorry! ID: 6223 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

There are at least two other threads here from you with the same question not long ago: http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=428 http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=398 It hasn't changed much since then. You can try Milksop's app if you want and if you have the computer for it, look here: http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=433 Unfortunately Mac Users can't use it, too bad if you have one.

(In a few minutes) Then they take a while. If you take the new optimized app (not default yet) then the hour long WU's go back to taking a few minutes because the code has been cleaned up.
