Subject: Still trying to figure out BOINC caching WUs.

OK, I have BOINC set up to store between 3 and 4 days worth of WUs (24
hrs. x 4 days = 96 hrs.) BOINC requests 270862 seconds of WUs (270862
sec / 60 = 4514.3666 min. / 60 = 75 hrs.), this ended up being 5 WUs
that show 18:17:30 per WU to completion (18 hrs. x 5 WUs = 90 hrs.)

This is all fine and good, but it REALLY only takes about 2 hrs. 30
min. to complete one WU. So my 4 day cache is only lasting about 12
hrs. 30 min.

I've run the benchmarks countless times but nothing seems to change
this. The way it is now, I'll have to set my cache between 39 and 40
days to get enough WUs to REALLY last 4 days.

Please, if my reasoning is pure BS, then someone show me how this
works.
