I think to only time the 14 day time limit is exceeded is if you have 10
days worth and crunching takes longer. However, I think this is likely
to be a very minor problem. This can be overcome by asking for a few
days less cache.

If you are caching WUs because you are worried about Berkeley being offline, you should be EQUALLY WORRIED about uploading the results in time...

Hence, a WU cache + WU complete time that is greater than 7 days looks to be silly. Also, a large cache delays adding up the credits for everyone.


Happy crunchin',
