Just wondering what's the length of time before a wu result is classed as
"old" data?

A good question asked many times in the past.

As for the answer now... I can't guess.

Looking at:
http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/wugraph.html

WU generation has slowed to a trickle, but then also a lot of people have jumped over to Boinc and so fewer WUs will be required.


The short simple answer is to keep your WU queue as short as possible that keeps your machine busy for your useage. I ran with just a one day queue and very rarely ran out of WUs.


I'm now on Boinc where the defaults are for a 0.1 to 1.0 day WU cache. The Boinc system manages a WU cache much better than classic (assuming the server database can suvive the strain (:-|). WUs should now not get needlessly recrunched due to client 'races'.


Good luck,
