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.

So what CPU has the "just right" FPU to maximize WU production?

Shouldn't (does) SETI be announcing this on their site?
