Uhm... that's not good. I guess there's no way to control what kind of WU's you receive?

It actually reads that this 5000 frame WU takes 1132 minutes per frame and lists an end date for the WU of:

17:39 Thr 22 Sep 16
3933d: 07h:42m:22s

I just completed a 12,500 frame like yours that took a couple days max... from 7 s per frame to 44 s per frame.

You must have a super computer. From what I understand, WUs get assigned based on processor speed, available RAM and internet connection speed.

The good news is that ranking is based on points (not WUs), so you'll a ton of points for that.

I think you can get more than 2,000 points for huge WUs. The smallest WUs I've seen only result in 15 points.

My problem (1st one) says 400,00 out of 500,000 steps done. It downloaded this one Dec 10. Even though I don't get a direct report of time per step, it looks like a step is taking about 1½ seconds.

I am using the console version, anybody know if a step and frame are the same (apparently not)? Is there a relation between frames (or steps) and the score? (I think this will vary per machine if a relation exists.) I'm wondering if my problem is going to help the team score any.
