Perle/peace,
If the waterboy is so valued then wouldn't it be sensible to encourage him in some way?

Ken,
Thanks for your reply.
I apologise for implying that you are trying to appease the contributors to your project by sending useless simulations.

If these particular results are so highly valuable then why do we not receive a commensurate amount of credit? Even a token would be something.

What's the point in distributing work units that take a second or less to process?
The overhead of distributing them and collecting them is more than required processing time.
I get 0 credits for this and I'd rather be crunching something else. If that's your strategy for making sure folks get something to crunch then it's ludicrous.
