One of my workunits is progressing VERY VERY (too slowly) slowly at 75% progress. And when I bring up the graphics window, it shows a planet Earth that is entirely blue (with the white outlines of the continents).

Should I abort the workunit?

Yes, abort it.

There are 2 types of \"iceworld\":
1) Fast processing, which will finish quickly, and
2) Slow processing, which will take forever to finish.

Description of iceworlds here, and discussion thread here.
