Unfortunately the credit per WU has dropped by about the same percentage as well... but I guess that's only fair.

Thats an logical effect of the droipping time, because credit is calculated over your crunched time.

This might be a reasonable place to post this comment and question.
I am thinking in the next several weeks to increase the length of the average workunit by about a factor of five to ten. So the run time would go from 30-60 minutes to five to ten hours. The main purpose is because this will cut down the strain on our server if there are fewer workunits to keep track of.
It doesn't make sense to do this quite yet. Until our code is stable, shorter workunits provide quicker feedback to everyone about what works and does not work.
But I'd like to know what our users think of this. Are half-day or even one-day long workunits reasonable?

I would have no problem with longer wu's. (Have a look on CPDN lol) But I think the deadline has also to be changed then :).

There's no reason I can see where long running work units would have a negative effect for the users. The only ones who would care are those of us stuck with dial-up. It would be better for me to upload a few times a day rather than every 30 min. The only concern I would have is if the result were several MB's in size.

But maybe it would be possible to split the result before?!

Yes....please, please, please do it.
It would be soooo appreciated.
Especially for us dinosaurs who still have dialup.
Cheers.
5 or 10 hours are OK for me
