(moderation:
I have seen run times of over 100 hours on CPU WU's on several machines. Can anyone say if this should be?

On my laptop which is only 1.6GHz the BRP4SSE runs from 50 to about 65 hours... I guess it depends on what setup you are running...

when I ran it on my netbook, GW searches took IIRC around that amount of time per pair.
The BRP tasks are sized for high speed GPUs that can do many of them an hour. The current king is the 7970 at 8/hour. At some point it'll probably become necessary to decouple CPU and GPU WU task sizes; but doing so would make the backend more complicated so it's not likely to happen until absolutely necessary.
