Hey, I was wondering if it wouldn't be better if a computer first tries the WU's. I mean that it runs a WU for say 2-3 seconds and if it doesn't crash into the walls then it is send to the volunteers on the grid.
I think it would save a lot of bandwidth, the waiting for WU's to complete (because they are in a wait list on one of the volunteers' computers), and maybe even more trouble(?)...
If course that pc would put a delay on the final processing, one should test if it would make a profit in time/bandwidth
