My new machine (3.0 HGz/800FSB) always reports a TTC of ~3.0 hrs for 2 wu's.
My old machine (P3/450MHz) has been reporting a TTC of 9 - 13 hrs. Why is
there such a variation in the TTC - are there different wu's?

Your new system has a clock rate 6.67 times faster with a crummier FPU;
if the FPU was equally efficient in the P4, your WUs would complete in
about 1:39. Faster CPUs result it low WU times; they all depend upon
how fast 4.5 trillion floating point operations can be completed.
