(moderation:
Not looked into the results yet, but the claimed credit is computed from the CPU hours and the benchmark results. The latter vary a lot between client versions and operating systems, so I wouldn't worry too much.

It's because the other host is Linux, and for reasons that we don't understand, our Linux code still doesn't run as fast as the Windows code. It seems that the Windows compilers to a better job. Or we haven't found the right compiler flags yet for Linux.
