1) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Smaller Model Units (Message 27191) Posted 6 Mar 2007 by old_user10575 Post: I agree that smaller work units would be great. 2000 hours on my machine is just way too long. Reducing the work unit size to 1/10 of the current size would be great. I had started a work unit when my computer was running almost 24/7, but then my environment changed so my computer runs during the day and is turned off at night. Additionally during the summer it got too hot to run the client. I looked at the deadline and realized that the work unit would not complete in time. I was not interested in wasting thousands of hours on a work unit with no chance to finish. If the work unit size stayed the same but the length of time dropped to 1/10, it would still be 200 hours for me before finishing. That is a long time but far more reasonable than a man work year. This would increase bandwidth, but hopefully it would be doable. As of now I am not currently participating in the project because the work units take too long. Please consider this change request as I think the project is excellent and worthy of my computing time.
