The last two tasks completed successfully but the last one took 5 times as long to complete and I got the same credit. That does not seem right to me.

Result nr. / WU nr.
6136679 / 2844232 ...
6112779 / 2832285 ...

different hosts

the long running one is a T2400 on Windows
the short one a Core2Quad Q9450 on Linux

The much faster CPU running the way better optimized application version, so it is not too surprising that it has a much better time to credits ratio

OK. I can accept that. I checked Host #10043 and the other 7 tasks all ran for 50K+/-5K seconds and were awarded 333.33 credits.
The other host #10051 completed its tasks in either ~8K seconds for 333.33 credits or ~55K seconds for 1538.46 credits.
This makes more sense now.

Thanks for your clarification.
