hi, why does a WU have 450+hrs and runs on high priority and is completed inside 2 hrs, it override my other projects !!!.. I believe Travis has to tweak the flops_estimate in the work generator, are there any Tekkies around who can shed light on this? |

Should correct after a few run. Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected? If it makes sense, DON'T do it. |

Well, not necessarily "a few" runs, but it will eventually work its way down. Mine still reads too high on the estimate time, but it is very slowly dropping. |

Should correct after a few run. The old fpops estimate for the WUs was really really low. I'm hoping the new estimate is a bit closer to what it actually is. Kind of hard to tell yet. |

I'm letting it come down on its own since I've got a fair bit of variation between say the 86's and the 79's. If I bring it down manually and end up with an 86, then my overall estimate will be too low and my computer will try to grab more work than it can handle (like it did when I first joined this project). I try to avoid repeating that situation whenever possible since it wasn't a fun experience. :( I'm aware that it'll balance out in a few units, but that would still amount to a few hours of my processor freaking out. I'll take the slow route if it means that my darn computer remains usable the entire time. |

My run times have been roughly the same for all WUs and my DCF has been coming down very, very slowly; however, the run time estimates have still been in the 100s of hours. I hope that I haven't shot myself in the foot, but I manually edited my client_state file and lowered the DCF to 0.25 from about 25. WUs downloaded since then have more reasonable run time estimates. |

but I manually edited my client_state file and lowered the DCF to 0.25 Mine's sitting at around .19xx... And we still have work... |
