Somewhere on teh intarweb "~misfit~" typed:
I've got a few completed Astropulse WUs now (and another queued) but
still none that have been confirmed, all still pending. I see that
they only send out two copies of each (last I remember it was three
of each for vanilla SETI WUs?) with one of the WUs I'm waiting on
having been sent to a Pentium III 1133MHz machine that does 1068 /
1763 MIPs respectively. I could be waiting an age for that one to be
verified.

I've been checking the results of my Astropulse WUs (just reported another 
one) and this guy let it run for quite a while before aborting it:

Luckilly it was given to another machine (Athlon 64 3000+) that was running 
24/7 and it's now been completed by two machines so I've been credited for 
it.

Another, that took my machine 34 hours to crunch, has been sent to a
Pentium Dual core 3.2GHz, 1457 / 2610 MIPs machine. That's about 1/3
the speed of my machine so ~100 hours crunch time on that machine? I
reported it 8 days ago and it's still pending....

Still waiting on this one, I reported it 11 days ago. However, it was a big 
unit.

The one I reported today was also a big one:

was also sent to a P4 2.4GHz, I hope he doesn't let it run for a while then 
abort too.
