boinc manager 6.2.19 - win 2k and win xp operating systems.

for five projects, einstien@home, seti@home, Milkyway@home, malariacontrol.net and climateprediction.net, the completion time rises on average 55 minutes per hour of run time. Also when the the progress = 100%, it runs for another hour or so before reporting. I do not have this problem on 2 other win xp machines, nor on 1 additional win 2k machine.

I am picking on this mail list because the multiple apps suggest that the problem is with the boinc manager. Several virus checkers indicate that there is no problem.

any suggestions?

thanks LouB

As long as you don't reset or detach, this should only happen once. However, a 10 to 1 ratio seems a bit extreme.

I think it's only (almost) 2 to 1 :-)
[(55 + 60) to 60]

it looks like 22:1 is a better approximation.
the win2k Box downloaded 12 work units from Einstein. Each unit had an estimated completion time of 10:53:47. The first unit has been running for 37:36:17. The % completion is 17.759% and the current estimated to completion time is 38:17:49. at this rate the original 11 hours will take about 220 hours.

This box gets used a few times a week by a client. The use is only for 30 - 40 minutes each time. During this time period, the 38 hours, no one has logged into or used this machine. If this is that abnormal, perhaps I should kill the processes, reformat the hard disk and reinstall everything from scratch.

Perhaps the processor is overheating, and is not running as fast as you think.
Dust? Poor ventilation?
