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?

Nope, but a good try.

Why so slow for your example?


There are stories of some die-hard running s@h classic on an old 486DX
for over a year for ONE WU!

I believe that was me, Martin.  I did it more as an experiment than anything
else.  <bg>  BTW, that WU is *still* crunching!  Machine is a Packard Bell
Model PB1120 (420 Mobo), Intel 486DX\8Mhz (Turbo off), 0 L2 cache, 12MB RAM,
200MB HD running Win98SE.

This must be FAQed somewhere...?


Happy crunchin',
Martin
