I was taking a rest from CPDN until some new WU came along, but I accidentally downloaded two units when I absentmindedly pressed Allow New Tasks on 28 March and 21 April. So I now have a 5.15 model which has done 4% and an Optimised 5.40 model.

I have a dual CPU machine but would like to keep one CPU for other projects.

Would it be better to let the 5.15 run to completion or Abort it and start the 5.40?

Thanks

My personal opinion, all models are important, and since you have the one already started, let it keep going, and abort the newer one. This way you do not waste all the time you already put into the one unit, because someone else will still get it and have to start over, where the newer one you have done little or no time on, and can be easily restarted without a loss.
