Greetings all,

I consistently have wu\'s that move up to around 90% complete in the span of 3-4 hours, and then take around a total of 25ish to complete the last 10%. This is not to accurate. I know its a guess-timation, but its usually way off. Anyone else noticed this?

This is normal for PS3GRID and the behaviour since the project started... ;-)

Well, while we are on the topic... Is there is reason for this? I knew the WUs take about 20-24 hours to complete, so it isnt a big deal. But what kinda work actually goes on to calculate the completion time? With my limited programming knowledge, i know \"% Complete\" monitors are sometimes tricky.

Guessing there is just some \"loops\" that take longer to complete. So lets say there is 100 tasks in each workunit. It completes 1-90 relativly fast. Therefore the % would show that there is only 10% left. But, that 10% is just the work that takes the longest.

that is just my speculation. Anyone actually have any real data on this?
