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.

And you'd have to do that in the space of a few hours, since our totals
are ever-increasing. Unless you come into a large pile of new hardware
as well as a new power feed to your house, it'd be difficult.

I did spot one person in the At Home top 1000 reporting 00:42:41 per
WU average crunching time, but I suspect that's bogus. The next closest
time I found was 03:42:00 average; I seriously doubt that anyone has
something at home that will do better than 00:45:00 consistently.

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.
