Hey,
I'm using BOINC 7.0.25 (x64) on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
I have only World Community Grid attached to BOINC.

Since I have updated to the latest release (to 7.0.25), the estimated remaining time is very high. It goes from 30-150 hours (I have a Core i5 3.3Ghz CPU). It's wrong because some workunits has to wait because the others with the extremely high estimated remaining time are running on High Piority.

I tried to remove and install BOINC again, I have also tried to cancel the current workunits but nothing works.

What should I do?

Here is an image to demonstrate the problem:

Let it run. This is a side-effect of the new scheduler built into BOINC. It was rebuild from the ground up, so old values from the previous scheduler are no longer used. BOINC has to learn again how long tasks take. This will take a couple of tasks, as long as you let it be. Just as it will have done in the past with the older BOINC version(s).
