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.

486DX *8*Mhz? I didn't know Intel made one. I take it it's an underclocked
faster chip?
