Hi,

I tried to attach this to my earlier thread of the same name, but it wouldn't accept my reply post, so I've had to start a new thread.

I'm replying to a post from gentlegiant.

When I say I'm running 2 WU's at a time, I mean that 2 unfinished work units are on the machine, but only one actually runs at any given time.

I provide the information that you asked for.
It doesn't look so very different from the stats for your machine.

Yet, my work-units are running ~63000s of CPU time, a lot more than 20% slower than yours. And my computer is requesting about 150+ credits for each work-unit: I've never seen another request for such a large number of credits.

Thanks for looking.
