    Here Bruce describes the current algorithm for determining if a host is "slow". If it is, it will be given a "short datafile" (i.e. a datafile that corresponds to short workunits) when the host needs to download a new one. Fast hosts are given datafiles (and thus long or short tasks based on it) simply as they come, more or less randomly from the database.

      I read that already, i think the quota increased from 32 to 64 per CPU just after Bruce wrote that, or is he going to increase even more? With 64 per cpu, its just still not enough if i were to get only short WUs. Finsished a short one in 1306.77, multiplied iwth 64 thats only 83633 seconds, and 1 day is still 86400, i would have almost 3000 seconds idle per CPU if i suddenly got only short WUs. I hope the chance of getting only shorties is remotely small.

      I'll bump up the quota a little bit more...
