Sure hope I ain't smellin' the fiddling fingers of rats on our point awards.
I haven't seen any 600 point units for like a week now. Maybe there just aren't as many in the pipeline lately.
It'll vary beased on your machine. But I can say that the Amber and Tinker cores don't appear to use SSE optimizations, which causes them to take longer than they otherwise could.
beased?
Well, I haven't changed a thing since I started but my average daily production started dropping like a rock last week.
It does look like you've dropped off since your first week:

Not sure what to make of it though, except that it looks like you had a stretch (1/12-1/14) where it must have been grinding away without returning a completed unit. Or you didn't get credit for one that was completed.
That makes sense. For a while, I seemed to get them pretty consistently on one machine here - now it's all 450 point QMD units, which is nice because they take about a day versus 2-1/2 days for the 600 point ones, so I actually get more points out of it :)
I am, however, a tin foil-hatter from time to time and would hate to think that some liberal hack was behind a noticeable decline in our scoring.
I think that was the Amber core, looking through your completed results. Slow, and not worth much pointswise. Just bad luck, most likely :(
Yeah, you're prolly right. But my production has plummeted for some reason.
BTW, you need to slow down, you're crawling up my six! LOL
:O)

Hey, look at my bud, Greenbo. He just started folding in the last week or so. He only has 3 machines, too!
WTG, Greenbo!
:O)

I wonder what would happen if all the FR folders used your tagline for a while papa.
I hope so. I can deal with that, np.
Muahaha - I got the smurf in my sights. Until his pals come gunning for me, anyway :)
Team Average PPWU (points per work unit) = 123
papasmurf = 105
greenbo = 127
houeto = 95
Senator Bedfellow = 242!!!!!!!
Well, you know what they say about politicians...LOL
BTW, Klutz only averages 120.
Actually, I got a whole slew of 600 point units from the beginning a few weeks ago - maybe 5 of them in a row, so that's 3000 points right there...
Everybody was using a similar tag until the feces hit the fan, that's where I got it from. :)
Senator: I wonder if there is a way to attach to THAT server only?
:O)

LOL - that'd be nice. Although, like I said, I figure I'm actually coming out ahead on the QMD units. I can do two, maybe three, of the 600 point units per week for a max of 1800 points, or I can do 6 of the QMD units at 450 points each, for about 2700 points per week. :)
