Again on deadlines - plus crunching time differencies

(moderation:
I went thru all the thread debating the short deadlines. I am one of those who would prefer a somewhat longer deadline and here are the points for it:
- It is said that keeping the database small grants for more users running E@H. However, as Ziran pointed out, "The 7-day deadline is a problem because:
Some machines are to slow to complete a WU in time running 24/7.
Some machines have trouble completing a WU in time running only parts of the day.
Some machines have trouble completing a WU in time because they aren’t used every day.
Some machines have trouble completing a WU in time because they participate in multiple projects.". So, a decision taken to "grant more users", actually achieve the opposite.
- My average CPU time for a E@H WU is over 100 hours, while global avg seems to be nearer to 85 (which is an issue by itself, and this is the reason of a new thread vs. replying to the old one. Any comment on this issue?). Maybe I am missing some HW requirements, don't know. But the point is: I don't think I'm unique. There are others like me. Even more, there are others whith similar machines, but whose "turned-on" time is lower. We'd like to donate computing time equally between BOINC projects, but E@H is somewhat bulling us like "Hey! U wanna run me? Gimme more CPU then other projects!". That sounds not fair, to me....

Can you unhide your computers for us? till we see what they are?
My computers (running this project) crunch an Einstein unit in about 8 and 14 hours respectively... nowhere near the 100 hours!
...or are you talking real time rather than CPU time...

Heck it's a good thing your arnt running CPDN, your completion time would be 100 years!
What are you running for a system 286....
I think that there is something wrong here!

If it's 100 hours of actual cpu time, the honest truth is that your machine is too slow to crunch multiple projects.

Or upgrade....

Did I say "average time"???
Gosh...
I should have written "average claimed credit"...:o(((
Sorry guys, all I can say is... fault is not entirely mine! I have a baby, you know (1 year on next saturday)? Well, sum up "geek time" with "job time" with "baby time".... Such a loss of sleep could make even the smartest ass as dumb as I am! ;op
Anyway: point was, my average *claimed credit* for an E@H WU is over 100, while received avg seems to be nearer to 85 (BTW: it's not so anymore, since upgrading from 4.19 - as I found out in this thread...).
Average crunching time (as reported by boinc manager) is little less than 40 hrs.
See you!
