Don't worry, this is normal.

The progress on FAAH is only an estimation. Part of this work unit needs a lot more work than estimated. Be careful, though! If you interrupt crunching now, then you will lose all work since the last checkpoint. Normally this isn't an issue, but when a small part of the work unit is taking a long time you stand to lose quite a lot.

You will get a lot more points for a very large work unit.

Cheers for the responce, sorry it took so long to get back to you, I was on my way to work when I wrote the thread.

I'm afriad to say I dumped the workunit before leaving (erring on the side of caution), but for next time, I know to keep with it.

Thanx Again

wanders or wonders around? Made a post attempting to identify the percent areas where one would see these back and forths like 47.3 to 50.0 and 31.x to 33.3 etc. Can last for hours (on a semi fast machine)...cancelled twice before it dawned

hmm 8 hrs and only 2% arghh, i was about to dump it but i thought i would suspend and resume, sort of a soft reset. i exited and resumed without any joy, i will keep going , now is 4% after 20mins much better, wonder wot happened? cheers

We should not forget, that soon starting with gaming, video/radio stream, dvd play, databasing, VIRUSES & SPAMBOTS, anything with a higher than lowest priority, that sucks CPU time, it will slow down UD, even though its wall-clock is ticking.

Real progress from a time perspective can be seen in the Taskmanager. Doing a bunch now, UD has 5.5 hours showing, but in taskmanager, 1 hour. Long as that CPU clock moves on the process, the program is functioning. If the process in taskmanager stops altogether, call Houston (no consult the forum, as all proper cancel methods are well described)!
