Re: a lot of point generated

If your pc works 4 hours and generates 250 points then you earn 62.5 points per hour. If your pc works 6 hours and generates 250 points then you earn 41.7 points per hour. A pc that works 16 hours and generates 550 points earns only 34.4 points per hour. I think it is better to earn 62.5 or 41.7 points per hour, yes?

Maybe your pc is faster therefore you finish in 6 hours instead of 16. Then you get another work unit and continue working. You do more work each hour so you receive more points each hour.

Re: a lot of point generated

You're welcome, Wilgard. One more idea...

Click on MyGrid -> MyProjects, there you see WCG has 2 projects:
1) FightAIDS@Home - long work units (WU), more points per WU
2) Human Proteome Folding - short WU, less points per WU

Maybe you saw other people who work on project #1? Maybe you work on project #2? You can choose both projects or just 1 project. I think they give the same points per hour.
