I just had an RC5 unit complete in just about one second!!!

Anyone else seen this happen?

P.S. My rc5 rig is a Ti/550, usually it cranks out about 5.6M/keys a second.

Perhaps the unit was 99.7% completed the last time you had shut RC5 off.

I've never seen a "fast unit" on RC5 myself.

Every unit somes with 2^28 keys, and each key should take exactly the same amoung of time to crunch. I have no explanation for a "fast" unit. Theoretially it just shouldn't happen.

Perhaps there was some network activity at the time. I've seen that happen, and display updates seem to freeze for up to a minute. Other processess do continue, and when the network activity finishes, all the displays update at once.

Maybe it was like SETI, it found a faulty WU, couldn't work on it, so it gave you the credit for the little work it did to determine that there was nothing worth getting. Arg! I need more of those.
Actual conversation between UCLA and Stanford during a login on early Internet - U: I'm going to type an L! Did you get an L? S: I got one-one-four. L! U:Did you get the O? S: One-one-seven. U: <types G> S: The computer just crashed.

... or maybe it was "the one". If so, congratulations, but don't count on it.

I don't think it was network activity slowing it down either. This was right after the previous unit.

I doubt it's "the one" also. But it'd be kick ass if that was the case.
