The enhanced units hsould be taking MUCH longer, as a general rule.
The reason is because the software is doing a MUCH mroe indepth look
of signals. We have already procesed "the" unit, so we will probably
have to do all the units over again too. Just in case you start LOTS
of older units. There is a batch coming thru now but they are ones
that had alot of noise in them when first checked, very superficially,
and were not ever evaluated by Classic.

The app has been considerably optimized, though; it's doing something 
like ten times as much work (on typical WUs) in perhaps double the time. 
When I started beta-testing the Enhanced app (at v5.09 or so) my Mac 
G4/733 was taking 150 hours and up; by the time the app was released (at 
v5.12) similar WUs were running about 18 to 20 hours.
