Those things run 10+ hours on my C2Q 9400, compared to other LHC jobs their estimated runtime is much too low (I think it should be ~5 times as high as it is now).

Not a big problem as long as rsc_fpops_bound is sufficient, the scheduler might deliver too much work to a machine though if the runtime is underestimated so much.

It's a bit of a problem for my old Athlon http://lhcathomeclassic.cern.ch/sixtrack/show_host_detail.php?hostid=9947112, especially when it only runs 2 or 3 days a week. e.g. Task http://lhcathomeclassic.cern.ch/sixtrack/workunit.php?wuid=16183943.

It's currently at 96.6% complete, 37 hours elapsed, BOINC estimate to completion 1 hour 12 minutes, BoincLogX estimate 5 hrs 3 mins.

[edit] Now up to 99.0% [/edit]
