BRP6 (PMP XT) Days to Process Remaining Data *increasing*?

(moderation:
It appears the number of days required to process the remaining beams from BRP6 (PMP XT) have been *increasing* for the past few days, rather than decreasing, as one might expect if we were helping analyze them.

It was at 393.1 on 3 Nov, then 423.6, then 456.3, and today 490.9.
Have we turned in a bad batch of results that need to be redone?

No, new data for BRP4G happened.
The number of remaining days to process the data is dependent on the number of tasks processed / day.
For a while now there has only been BRP6 tasks available (for Nvidia and AMD GPUs) so all processing power has been devoted to running those tasks. Then new data for BRP4G comes along and now the processing power is split between the different searches and thus the number of BRP6 tasks processed / day decreases and the remaining time to complete all tasks for this search increases.
