Your rank out of 5074213 total users is: 101473rd place.
The number of users who have this rank: 36
You have completed more work units than 98.000% of our users.
Let's see if I can reach Top 1% before it gets switched off...
Don't hold your breath -- you're not gonna reach it.
I've got 4155 WU's and I have completed more work than 98.714% of the S@H
users... which means you'll have to crunch approximately 2000 WU's to get
into that top one percent... :)
Its a non-linear gradient and a receding target. In 2001 I reached a peak
of 99.748% on October 31, with 5333 units and 8422nd place, turning out
an average of about 5.5 units a day. Today I am in joint 26415th place,
at 99.479%, and falling at a slowly accelerating rate, with a credit of
8503 units, and a production rate of around around 8 units a day.
Bottom line - you need to be farming to climb the ladder. Never mind
just do it for the satisfaction of knowing that, barring the opinions
of the odd detractor, it's a worthwhile investigation and every little
bit counts.
