Are you running it on one system, or multiple? With BOINC, each system
must have direct Internet access, which severely impacts those of us
running a farm via dialup by using SETI Queue. There is no equivalent
for BOINC, and can't be, the way BOINC works.

For the moment, having just reached 66,146 results in Classic, I'll
continue crunching with it. At nearly 44 results/day, I stand a 
chance of reaching 75,000 before it's shut down.

Same with me.  I'm at 66810 at the moment.  It's getting old though
with dialup on most of my machines.  I may switch to BOINC with the
small minority that have permanent broadband access, but probably not
the rest.  It's just too time consuming.
