The reason for the 7 hour 49 min. average is because I stopped doing
S@H for 2 years.
True average is LESS than 3 1/2 hours and just under 4 hours while
playing Unreal 2K3.

Your average is calculated by dividing the total CPU hours by the
number of results returned; it has nothing to do with calendar time.
Not doing S@h for a couple of years doesn't affect your average; all
the results you returned on the slower hardware you were using when
you started participating were clearly taking much longer than 3:30
to process.

My average per result is 14:45; this was skewed upwards by one system
which was taking 170-180 hours/WU. I finally took it and five other
systems that were taking over 24 hours/WU offline about two months
ago. The cost of electricity, coupled with the approaching end of
S@h Classic, made it somewhat pointless to keep them running.

98.8 CPU years isn't bad, though...
