moin,
i am wondering me if credits going so low for 2h of computing:

Low Credits

Moin,
This is totally normal for those tasks.
It used to be 337 for much longer runtime, but they changed the task and now they run way shorter. Over the holidays they granted the higher credits for the shorter tasks as a christmas gift.
See here
337 was way too much for

337 was way too much for newer, shorter workunits, but 70 credits is too low, IMHO. On average that's less credit than GW search gives in the same time period, at least on all of my 6 different computers. It should be more like 85 or so to be comparable with GWS.
Hi, on my two Core-i7 CPUs

Hi, on my two Core-i7 CPUs the credits per task for FGRP2 should be between 90 and 95 to have the same credits/hour ration as the S6LV1 tasks.
Maybe on other CPUs it is different.
You are right, credit is ~24%

You are right, credit is ~24% lower as for the S6LV1 tasks. That's an average over 4 systems.

FWIW, my 2.75* GHz Phenom x6 gets:
Fermi ~7500 seconds / 70 pts = 107 sec/pt
Those fat, tasty 337 point Fermi tasks seem to be drying up. Boo hoo! :)
LigoS6 ~23K / 251 = 91.6 sec/pt
BRP - ~58K / 500 = 116 sec/pt.
While I don't much care about the credit, a few more points might not hurt. :)
* Wish I could OC more. All the individual cores are solid running 3.8 at stock voltage, but the motherboard's switching FETS are notorious for going up in smoke when heavily loaded. Even with a fan blowing over the VRM circuitry, they get downright hot when all 6 cores are running > ~3GHz.
