I just noticed a couple of WU's that ran in ~3.5 hours on my 9800.

Experience is a wonderful thing: it enables you to recognize a mistake every time you repeat it.

I've seen one of these so far as well. Looks like the credit is consistent with the larger WU's.

I think I'd prefer smaller WU's for my slower cards, so I don't have to worry about something breaking 95% and 15 hours in. With fast cards, though, I can see this requiring more connections to the server as the tasks will only take a hour or so. Could cause issues even for short server outages.

Is the upload file size reduced proportionally? If yes then I suppose the server could take some more beating (=more requests but comparable traffic).

Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002

It's normal.
All these WUs having *smd* on them are normally shorter...but heavier than "usual" *IBUCH*s
The reason is because for these type of simulations we generate an additional heavy file such as in most of (if not all) *KASHIF* WUs.
If I keep the *smd* shorter the heavy file won't grew too much as it depends on the simulation length (~computing time).

Thanks for the info Ignasi...

any chance of shrinking the download size? my isp has hard enough time keeping my cards full now.
