I'm currently crunching a WU -

H1_1242.9_1243.1_0.1_T265_Test02_1 usi...

WUs normally take about 8 hrs on my machine; this particular WU (approx 50% complete now) is looking like running for about 15 hours to completion!
Anyone else noticed this?

Is there any reduction of time remaining?
once I had a WU which had already 2 times the normal time and there was no progress(!). I stopped the machine, restarted and the WU finished according to what was shown in progress-bar.
I do not know of especially large WUs - they are all equal within close limits (+/- 3% at max, probably less) afaik.

I have had similar experiences. Sometimes it seems that the WU gets "stuck" at the end and does not finish up cleanly. Suspending the project and then restarting it, or cycling BOINC both seem to work ...

WU finished in 11.13.46

I run Seti and Predictor at the same time, swap between applications at 1 hr intervals. Not too worried, just curious as to why this WU took so long!

I have had about 10% of my WUs take much longer than normal...I usually complete a WU in about 11 hours, some have taken as long as 24 hours.
