For a brief summary of overall BOINC policy regarding credits review this page. As you can see, the design intention is for one cobblestone (the official and little used name for the unit of the credit system) to reflect a standardized amount of computation work.
While some projects do use schemes employing measurement of run-time parameters and benchmarks in coming up with credit awarded for individual work units, Einstein assigns the credit centrally, and the actual runtime on your host has no affect on the credit awarded.
Of course, runtimes on representative samples compared to other things are employed in coming up with (and later adjusting) these standardized credits, but it is not the case that the credit you get is based on either the CPU or the GPU time your host consumes finishing a particular Work Unit.
About the credit

Actually it is based on neither.
Really?
