EVERYONE is taking longer to crunch the units now. The units
themselves are not bigger but the Science being preformed on them is
much more detailed. The AR is what makes a long unit into a very long
unit. I forget which is which but some can take a very long time. Now
some are just abd units and those can be seen by your cunching only
0.???% while taking 100 hours to do it. Those units can just be
aborted as they will probably never be crunched succesfully by us
users. Aborting a unit is not as much a problem as it used to be, now
the unit is just sent to someone else to crunch. HOWEVER if Berkeley
finds people aborting the very long units and only crunching the
shorter units, there could be repurcussions. Although with the credits
being counted in a new way, it hardly makes sense to abort any but the
obviously bad units.

I have never aborted any SETI WUs, but I did one for ClimatePrediction
awhile back.

I did a couple of weeks ago, I had processed the unit for 124 hours
and only gotten to 0.84%! No that is NOT 84% that is point 84 percent!
