3) Questions and Answers : Windows : WUs start out as 1 hour or less but wind up 8 to 10 hours plus (Message 38904) Posted 19 May 2019 by Neal Watkins Post: I set my cache to store some small unit, say 2 days of work. WUs download to fill that time. BUT once a WU starts the elapsed time jumps to 8 to 10 hours. This means I have downloaded more WUs than I can process by the deadline. Any ideas? I have a 2 CPU laptop running WIN10 set to use 80% of the CPU time.
4) Questions and Answers : Windows : New Sixtrack on old WinXP (Message 38741) Posted 8 May 2019 by Neal Watkins Post: All WUs on my old WinXP machine bomb out with compute errors. This just started with the latest Sixtrack. Any ideas?

10) Questions and Answers : Windows : time remaining is way off (Message 32427) Posted 15 Sep 2017 by Neal Watkins Post: I have my WU cache set but when I download WUs the estimated run times are way off. They can say 3 min and 28 secs but the actual run times are in the hours. I've set my cache real low to compensate. Anybody else see this?
