At 10:19 PM UTC on Sunday, 30 July 2006 the server status S5 search progress is listed as:
Total needed 422.0 days with 379.0 days remaining.
This is one month after I first started paying attention to the progress estimates and I'll stop looking and posting because that just seems to be the way it is.

BOINC doesn't seem to want to crunch any Einstein units lately, I've got 10 that have been sitting in my tasks since the 25th...
I know LHC had a couple big workloads last week, both of which I missed :(, so people could of been dedicating their time to that instead of Einstein...
Several people switched more shares to Rosetta temporary as that project is close to a sub-project deadline (CASP7), which will make quite a difference for the project's future.
On the 9th of August, maybe even earlier, those crunchers will return to their usual ressource share settings.
Summertime has arrived, many turn off there extra computers and than restart them in the fall when the heat from the CPU is needed. (only kidding)
Kidding? Why, I do that! A computer is a heating with almost 100% efficiency - power input ~= heat dissipation if you forget about those blinking LEDs on your mainboard and moving fans a bit.
Why should i buy an electric-heating when i can just power on my dual-Xeon? :)

Assuming a windowless room, the energy into the LEDs also heats the room (if there are windows, some of the energy escapes as heat).
All of the energy that goes into the fans also heats the room (unless the window is open, and that seems counter productive in the heat wave).

If your windows are closed, then the LED are increasing the room's temperature :-)
Any amount of energy, as tiny as it might be, increase the T° of a closed system.
OK, I know, I'm pedantic ;-) Forgive me please.

@Stef, thanks for the graphs. The one that makes me wonder, is that the "floating point speed" increased from 40 something to over 60 TFLOPS in one month (that is roughly 50% increase in computing power). I don't know what to make of this ... is the "estimate" algorithm broken?
I fired up a few more machines. :-) (j/k)

as of 5:21 PM UTC on Tuesday, 8 August 2006:
426.4 days needed with 374.6 days remaining
On the bleak side, only 4.4 days whittled away from the remaining in almost ten days of elapsed time.
On the bright side--I think the last week has seen the best sustained movement down in the remaining parameter to date.
Now when Bernd Machenschalk makes something like 4.24 the standard application for Windows machines, that should give the wheel a healthy kick. Maybe in another few weeks we can hope to average a day per day.

If it is a window, the light from the LED could be shining out of the window instead of heating the room. OK, only some of the light from the LED is shining out of the window, so some is escaping, and some is heating the room.

In college my a1400 and crt were so effective at heating my dorm that it could be snowing outside and I had a window half open for cooling purposes.
