download of wu's in 1 second?

hi!
i'm not shure, where those workunits that i'm processing come from. what makes me suspicious is, that when i'm updating the einstein-account in the boinc-manager (4.45) to get more work, it takes like a second to get 8 new workunits. the only problem is, that i'm right behind a 56k-modem. there's no way i'm downloading even a few 100kb in one second!

the log looks like this:

30/08/2005 19:55:53||Insufficient work; requesting more

look at the timestamps and you'll know what i mean. right there it's not even a second between the suceeded rpc and the starting of the new wu! any ideas? is the client somehow generating those wu's locally?
