Am I the only one worried by the 10000+ point per day drop off recently?

And the fact that our threat level has gone WAY up? I'm cranking along at 2.5ghz on my AthlonXP rig, and I have another at 1.9ghz, but I can't pull in all that slack, guys. Hopefully the 239 point tinker I'm currently six frames into will inspire you all to get your machines back online and crunching for team 16. *pompoms* yay!

I'm afraid that a lot of the point fluctuations we see are related to the type of work units that Stanford is releasing. My Mac (Dual 533) is working a tinker core that is slower than dirt! My wife's 1 Ghz G4 eMac is working on tinker core also and it is not any faster than my old Dualie!
Also, when about half of our production is being provided by two people, CobraMac and corneredbeast, any change in their work environment has a HUGE impact on the team. I suspect that CobraMac is cunching tinkers on his Mac farm and that is the reason for his downturn.......

I turned my farm back on. My secondary farm has been messed up for a while, and I haven't had time / gotten enough complaints to rebuild the machines. I'm trying to get them to upgrade instead, which would be easier if athlon 64s would drop in price (I'm not keen on spending $1400 per system, even if $500 of that is for a good LCD).
I have to fly to Maryland / DC next week (plane tickets are hard to get a week before you leave). I'll have some time to work on the farm after I get back.

My machines have all got tinkers on them. Worse luck.
Just had one on each processor of my G5, the 3rd and 4th this week. 
I added both my XP 2800+ and dual 450 back into the mix late last night so they should start reporting in pretty soon...
Not much but I guess it all counts.

I think I got like 350 - 400 points for it, but it took an 800 MHz G4 processor an estimated 12.4 days (FAH Monitor est. time remaining--not counting slow downs for my usage/pausing/etc...) to do a unit. This was in CLI. There does seem to be alot of longer and longer work units after getting ones that would turn over in a day for a while...I don't know why at first I was grumpy if the points are fair.
I look forward to the stats by WU that are supposed to return to the Stanford Stats pages, I haven't really wanted to see them enough to track them myself though...
good luck all

Hot diggity dog. I just picked up a 249pt Tinker, p1110_L939_K12M_nat_min1. I'm crunching a 128pt tinker on my main rig and the 1.9ghz Barton is working on that biggie. I won't submit any points until Friday morning, more than likely, but wow it'll be a big jump all at once.

... Yeah, wtf. And you just blew by me on the stats page a few days ago with an increasing crunch rate. 
I leave for a weekend of camping and my tinker has advanced 50 or so frames in 2 days... what the heck? 15" 1.25 ghz Powerbook. My workstation at work at a tinker when I left on Thursday... I bet it's still chokin' too. It's only a G4 733, the poor thing.
The MacNN team page said that "Tinkers no longer massively suck"... Garbage!

The qualifying word was "massively". What changed wasn't the speed, but the amount of credit. So while they "suck", they no longer "massively suck" because you do get a lot more credit for the time spent crunching.

That made sense after I thought about it for awhile. I think I found why I didn't get hardly any work on that unit done over the weekend, though. I use XDonkey as a GUI for mlnet connectivity, and sometimes it gets CPU crazed. While the daemon still runs when XDonkey is closed, I usually leave it open so I can see stats and progress of transfers, etc. All weekend folding and XDonkey had been competing for CPU I guess, because I quit XDonkey lastnight and got about as much done overnight while I was sleeping as I had gotten in the last two days.
