Resetting not only dumps ALL the workunits you have in your cache, as
you said, but it ALSO dumps any credits you would have gotten for
crunching those units. Also any units you have already crunched are
dumped! No credit will be forthcoming for those either. You are not
saving anything by resetting.

Moreover it delays the achievement of quorum for granting credit to
the other users who were assigned the same work.
