What the fuck? Must older

What the fuck?
Must older clients be powered on 24/7?

All crunched for nothing?
Not even the credits for the work contributed, despite unnecessary?
That is very sad. :(

Given the size of the workunit, your computer spent far too much CPU time for it (or the Windows methods to account CPU time is terribly off). Is that machine operating in some kind of battery conserving mode ? I noticed it's a Mobile CPU.

After looking through the

After looking through the stderr file it looks like there was a 'Restart from scratch' event part way through the result. Therefore the CPU time is most likely accurate since the running total for the result doesn't get reset when this happens.

@ roadrunner: Agreed, my experience has been you really have to watch older hosts closely on S5R2 so far. The beta apps are far slower and the new WU' are a lot 'tougher' than anything we've seen here on EAH a long time.

The "client" is a notebook

The "client" is a notebook borrowed to a friend (girl *g*) of mine currently on their semester abroad in norway.
I haven't any influency on runtime, uptime, downtime, batterymode or such.

That's strange, underclaiming

That's strange, underclaiming in Einstein normally happens only with a few very old client versions afaik, and none of you are using one of those... looks like sth went wrong with the "credit estimate" there.

Isn't this one of the first WUs, that got delivered with a too small credit-stamp on it?

Sounds plausible... now you

Sounds plausible... now you mention it, there was a bunch of WUs like that, so if the one we see here has been around that long you are probably right.
