Just out of curiousity ... are specific workunits allocated to computers based on the computers' performance?
Just wondering ... I've been using a puny 800MHz system that's been getting S5 workunits that take about 4 hours on it. I've moved over to a 3.4GHz system and was kinda expecting to rip through workunits, but the first one I got looks to be a juggernaut S5 ... about 14 hours even at 3.4GHz by the looks of things.

The scheduler is designed to send out short WU to slow hosts, and long WU to fast hosts. The slow WU are sent to the hosts which are in the slowest 20%.
