I've noticed that each of the new batch of wu's is to be sent out 4 times - are we starting to see the sah scenario where they send out a wu more times than required just to keep the hordes happy? Or are 4 results really required?

The extra computation has been introduced to assist the validator. Because of the sensitivity of SixTrack to differing processors they've added in an extra layer of computation to tighten up the results.

Exactly.

We now require 3 similiar results in order to work unit to validate. And to get 3 results finished, we sent 4 results right away.

Just curious. Are the credits awarded like in SETI@HOME. The middle value of 3 WU?
