_ I've got a problem here: There are two running workunits that have an Elapsed time of OVER 13 HOURS. However, neither has anything displayed as a To completion time... nothing but "---" I'm beginning to think these are "infinite" WU's... I don't want to waste any more processor time if they will never finish. If these workunits don't ever finish, I can't turn them in (without aborting them) If I can't turn these WU's in, I won't get any credit for them. If I don't get any credit for them, I will be quite frustrated. Please help!

What is the spec of your computer? On a modern, fastish machine, they should only take about half an hour, but an older machine could be significantly slower. I have not (as yet) implemented any progress bar, so you won't see any gradual progress until they're (hopefully) done... J ____________

I've just looked at the spec of your computer, and it's perhaps a _little_ slow (at least not ultra zippy :) and you're running the older 32-bit app for PowerPC Mac, so you _might_ just have to be a bit patient... I hope (and expect) that you will see a completion in due course J ____________

I'm also getting WU's taking a long time and going over the time limit. I've a Pentium 3 M running Linux & an iMac G4 PPC. I was wondering whether you had a min spec you considered for your project? Cheers ____________

As an update, I built a P3 933 Mhz Coppermine desktop machine and installed Ubuntu on it. Got a new WU and left the machine running. WU completed in a about 14 hours, so I've got a current benchmark for wu length on older P3 machines. I can use this as a rough gauge for my iMac G4. Cheers ____________

I've got a problem here:

There are two running workunits that have an Elapsed time of OVER 13 HOURS. However, neither has anything displayed as a To completion time... nothing but "---"

I'm beginning to think these are "infinite" WU's... I don't want to waste any more processor time if they will never finish.

If these workunits don't ever finish, I can't turn them in (without aborting them)

If I can't turn these WU's in, I won't get any credit for them.

If I don't get any credit for them, I will be quite frustrated.

Please help!
