I've completed 21 WUs out of 58 and have 443.67 in "pending credits".

But my actual score os still zero.

Thinking maybe people with largish caches may be stacking up WUs that
won't be processed for days, I'v reduced by own cache from 8 days
(equal to the longest S@H outage since 1999) to 3 days......and
assumed I will turn around my stacked up WUs faster....and allow
everyone to get their credits sooner.

Make sense?

I think so. I originally set my cache to 5-6 days to try to avoid the
frustration I've been experiencing previously when I can't get WUs. (Got
handed 48 WUs to my fastest machine) then, after reading how the credit
system works, I've reduced it to 1-3 days. My girlfriend is frustrated
though, (another member of our team) she set her machine up with BOINC
yesterday and still doesn't have any WUs. Lots of 'messages' but no WUs.
