The next SETI-BOINC crisis will be crunchers running out of new Work
Units.

The Server Status is showing very few WUs ready to upload, the "WUs in
process" queue falling and the "awaiting for validation" growing.

The "in process queue" is falling at the "awaiting validation" queue,
and there seems to be very few new work units available to make up the
"in process" queues. So, crunchers are now running down their caches.

I hope the SETI-BOINC team are aware this is happening and boost the
splitters work levels?

It normally takes only a few hours of splitting to make enough units
to overdue the demand. Right now NO ONE has any units and we are all
taking our max number of units, or trying to, TODAY/RIGHT NOW! By
tomorrow most of us will have enough units that are caches will be
mostly full and we will need only a few units to top them off. The
splitters should then start to forge ahead and get back towards the
500,000 unit buffer that Berkeley says they would like to have.
