Interesting statistics when compared to mine:

Results Received  71905
Your rank out of 5436301 total users is:  1567th place.
You have completed more work units than  99.971% of our users.


That percentile rank is very difficult to move.

YOU'RE TELLING ME!!!

Your rank: (based on current workunits received) 
Results Received  57249  
Your rank out of 5436301 total users is:  2191st place.  
You have completed more work units than  99.960% of our users. 

3,000 units is ONLY 0.11%!

Unfortunately you are at the very competitive end of the cruncher curve.
My daily output is sufficient to keep me at 99.900% to 99.901%,
dependent on the timing of snapshot updates on the user stats DB. 

My current position is 99.900%, on WU stats of 31,444, giving a rank of
5,412 (users with this rank 1). 

This means going from 99.900% to 99.971% (an increase of 0.071%) I would
need to add between 40,461 and 39,143. So, I need to up my total WU
count by, say, 40,000. This is an increase of 127% on my current
position.

Whow!!
