Just wondering, does it make a difference to your overall credit if one computers benchmarks are incorrect?? For example, if my benchmarking revealed that 1 WU took 12 hours, but my computer crunched it at 6 hours, would this affect the overall credit for that one work unit?? ID: 39264 ·  |

If all of the machines that crunch a WU agree that it took about half of the original estimate, then all of the computers will ask for about the same credit, which will be half the amount that would have been requested if it took as long as the original estimate.
