Hello,

I had some strange effect when unstalling BOINC 4.19:

<b>Machine A: BOINC 4.13 &amp; CPDN</b>
After upgrading via Suspend, then Exit and then installation of new BOINC version without prior deinstallation, the value under "Progress" jumped from 2.18 to 3.6% (or similar, don't remember exact values). Work then seemed to progress much faster, too. Since that seemed strange to me, I exited BOINC (without suspending) and restartet it. Progress was back to the original value of 2.18 and original speed.

<b>Machine B: BOINC 4.19 &amp; Seti</b>
New installation of BOINC on new machine. After some trouble of connecting to server finally it downloaded WU for Seti. I had not done Seti under BOINC so far, but once the calculation started, work progressed so fast, that even without prior experience I could tell something was wrong. I estimate that the SETI-WU would have taken about 15-30 minutes to complete on my Athlon 1200. Impossible!
I exit BOINC and restarted. Progress from there on was much slower, about 1/100% every 2 seconds or ca. 5.5 hours/WU, which seems about right.

Did anybody see similar effects when upgrading to or installing 4.19?

I love CPDN!

Hallo Friedrich,

the calculations regarding estimates of crunching time seem to be a bit vague.
I crunch my average PP@H in 1.2h, but he always proclaims 3.5h for the WUs in store. (S@H: 3,5h 5h).
When crunching startes, the estimate crumbles to unbelieveble lows, but recovers to more reliant values at about 50%.
Same happened with my CPDN (just 2 unfinished on my 2 machines).
But that was the same with 4.13, 4,18 (just briefly installed;-) &amp; 4.19.
AFAIR with the beginning of a new installations run, it had to recover his calculations and was showing some nonsense until it started crunching, but after 1-10 min it was back to 'normal'.
