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%!

Check your math.  At this level, 13000 WUs are more like 0.011%

The total accounts was frozen at 5,436,301; therefore .001% == 54.3
positions in the ranking. There's no direct correlation between the
number of results returned and the ranking/percentage.

You and I are 1318 results apart and 34 positions apart, but still
within the same .001% group.

However, a recent entrant could have gone from zero to ahead of 50%
with a handfull of results--certainly no more than 10.

The Intel ASCI Red supercomputer placed first in the 11/97 list of
the top 500 supercomputers in the world, at 1.338 TeraFLOPs max.
As of 6/05, it wouldn't make the list.
