1. The page with my Classic WU details has the correct count, 4010, units; but SETI is
showing about 2280 "as of May 15", or something like that. Do you think they will
eventually show the correct classic units somewhere? 

The numbers will be updated after "classic" has shut down.

2. Are all BOINC WU the same size? The BOINC Manager shows 4:15 for each WU ahead, and
that's very close to the time it takes. Classic never seemed to know how long a WU would
take, ahead of time.

Under BOINC you have short Predictor@home wu taking maybe 30 minutes,
and long Sulphur-cycle-model wu under CPDN taking 2+ months, so it's
definitely not the same size. ;)

For SETI@Home/BOINC, all wu is currently having the same expected
run-times. But, just like in "classic", you have variation due to
difference in angle-range, so in reality it's 25% difference in
crunch-times. Not to forget, the ocassional -9 result_overflow taking
1 minute or something.

In Seti_Enhanced "soon" to be released, the expected run-times will
variate due to angle-range, and can expect upto 15x difference in
crunch-times between VHAR and AR 0.226.
