Looking at 14 completed workunits, I can see that the elapsed times range between 1-4 hours, with
some as long as 7 1/2 hours. The actual times for the non-cuda units are 1:03, 1:01, 3:33, 3:23,
1:03, 1:07, 3:31, 3:44, 3:36, 3:50, 3:42. For the cuda units, they are 2:31, 2:31, and 7:28. 

Ruling out use of the machine for other things, why do some units take so much longer than others?

Based on these and other observations, I would say the "average" time for an "average" unit on my
2.5 ghz 45 watt cpu is 2 1/2 - 3 hours. Because it is dual-core with cuda, it actually processes 3
units during that time. 

I was wondering, what is the fastest time for an "average" unit on the fastest processor? Note, I
mean a single core processing single unit, although this might include some cryogenically cooled lab
machine with a scillion math coprocessors or some power guzzling gamer thing. 

I'm not looking to start a war here, I was just curious as to what is out there. It is near my tenth
anniversary, and just for the heck I ran a (current) workunit on one of my original computers, a
55mhz cyrex. It took about a week.
