I’ll take this opportunity to register another plea for the deadlines to be increased. I understand that the science app can’t be changed at the drop of a hat, but do the same ‘conservative’ practices apply to the settings on the servers?

I think the monsters should get a three week deadline at least, just to avoid users being frustrated when they notice they won't make the deadline only after having spent considerable CPU time.

Or, at the very least, have the server set up to send the large units out to only the faster hosts. (Like, Core 2's and Athlon 64's.)

Chew only one project for 24/7 at the time so could easely handle those large ones [4.28 with core 2] but never saw one coming up my direction.
There's just one restriction: I want a commited wingman, not somebody who's said by itself "EH...what's that? Nevermind lets try!" Or doesn't have possibilities to finish them in time.
