1) Message boards : Number crunching : Controlling 2nd BONIC client on P4 HT machine (Message 11774) Posted 12 Apr 2005 by lunarcom Post: Don't forget that with HT it isn't a perfect 50 / 50 split in processing power between the two WU's. The second WU will always be slower to process.

2) Message boards : Number crunching : \"Jackpot\" Crediting strikes again... (Message 7140) Posted 2 Jan 2005 by lunarcom Post: For me when I get the extra credits, they remain till the next day when magically I get no credit for that days work till the extra credit is used up. In other words they get you in the end.
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Stats a bit haywire after model upload... (Message 5854) Posted 2 Nov 2004 by lunarcom Post: So what is going on ? Are the accounts that got the extra credits going to have them removed or what ? I know of several who jumped up major amounts without actual working being done just getting extra credits.

This then explains why I am seeing people with a similar level of machine as mine getting credits of 6000 per day and yet I only achieve an average of 300 a day on the exactely same machine and O.S. So how does this magically get fixed or just the luck of the draw ?
