What is the record for the worst average cpu time per work unit?

I've got one going over 200 hours.  Do I win the prize?

No, not even close.

Someone processed one on a 386 for about 8 months; when the result
was returned, it doubled his aggregate average time for WUs.

Makes you wonder why they bother when my two-year old XP Athlon only takes 2
hours 30 minutes for a SETI classic WU. Imagine all the electricity that old
386 ate in that time.

that good old "because it was there" reason? ;-)
