I only started a couple of weeks ago. I've done 12 WU so far :-(
I'm running an iMac, it's OS9 so I cant run the BIONC stuff

That's 28 hours per WU. Seems very slow. I dont know much about the iMac, but you might want to check your settings on seti classic.

That depends on the model. For a PowerPC-based system running the Mac
OS v9- S@h client/screensaver continuously with a blank screen, I'd
expect that kind of time (~ 1.0 day/WU) from a G3 running at 200-250
MHz, which I think is about right for the CPU in an earlyish iMac.
For a system that's also running other programs or gets shut down
occasionally, you have to prorate the figures accordingly: if the
statistic under discussion came from a machine in which the Mac
client was only actually crunching half the time, I'd guess it to be
a 400-MHz system.
