Well it might be nice if S@Hboinc actually sent the WU's out of
PC's/Machines
that process them at similar speeds. If someone is presently crunching 20
WU's
per day, but the other 2 machines are only crunching 2 WU per day then
the
20 WU per day cruncher is going to be waiting a damm long time for
his/her

The problem with this is if they implemented this and the person that
is crunching the same speed as you has a system crash and isn't up for
a while! You are waiting until someone else is found with your same
speed to send the units too and what if they too have a crash!!!
I cant believe that there will only ever be 3 machines running at the same
spped:-) And it doesnt have to be an absolute speed match, similar will
do.
Too many possibilities and potential if's!
Just hold on and all will work out, we are in this for the long run
not a real fast burn and burn out.
Yeah, well I've been at S@H for a number of years, but I think a number
of folks also enjoy comparing their results with others, perferably from
a point of more achievement in the totals:-) After all thats pretty much
why teams were formed in the 1st place isnt it?
Your idea was suggested and rejected in the Beta process, I don't know
if it was actually tried, but the Scientists said no.
Ahh..now thats another kettle of fish:-) Ta for the info.
