I never kept log books but I used to complete 2 wu's every 4 hours. That's 
increased from 3 hrs under classic, 3 1/2 hours when I initially transfered 
to BOINC, now it was 4 hours before my last re-install 2 days ago.

Current wu's times are:
The CPU time for the current wu's is 17:41:12 & 17:31:48.
To completion is 43:00:19 & 7:28:21
Those turnaround times seem a bit excessive unless they're crunching a 
seriously large wu.

My latest benchmarks are:

I have a p4 3.0 GHz, 1 GB RAM. Do those benchmarks seem reasonable? If 
they're not, what can I do about it? 

The benchmarks are a bit slow, but that actually has nothing to do
with how fast you run a unit. To rereun the benchmarks just click on
file, run benchmarks. The benchmarks have to do with how much work you
get and is representative of how fast your machine is.
What else do you do with your computer while Boinc is running? What
other programs are running at the same time? What version of the
program are you using? Are you actually running 2 units at the same
time or just one at a time?
