I assume I may be holding up others who have faster times to get credit.I read in several forums that a job is compared to others that send it in and only when all parameters are met then all will get credit.Is that correct?

Yes, and it is part of the design. Don't worry, your crunching is just as valuable.

Those with fast machines take their chances as to whether a slower machine compares one of their WUs. The 2 week deadline ensures that the credits awarded shouldn't be more than just a few weeks behind the crunching.


Good luck,
Martin
