Did they reduce the size of the WU's?  Or just make it more efficient?  Because it seems to be going extremely quickly today.

I have no idea.

There are lots of different CPU routines, and each WU uses a different one. I've noticed that WUs that use "double gromacs" are much faster than those that use "gromacs" for example. You can find out which "core" your WUs are using by reading your log file, FAHlog.txt.



Prehaps its just your internet working better, whats a WU?

The WU size I've been receiving has been 100 000 cycles long for the past week. Before that, the average size was 500 000 cycles long (Mix of 250 000 and 750 000 cycle long WU). I once received a 1.5 million cycle long WU that took 48 hours to process. (Note the time per cycle varies depending on the WU, so process time is not directly correlated to the number of cycles.)


@NintendoMan
A WU is short for work unit. It is what is sent to your PS3 or computer to be processed as part of the overall work the distributed computing project is trying to accomplish.
