Just got a bunch of WU's that are running very long (for eOn standards). They've been running for about 4 hours and just passed the 80% mark. No problem, BUT...the WU's have no checkpointing! So, if I shutdown my computer now, I would lose about 8*4 = 32 hours of work :( With the short WU's, this is...

Well, the "old" eOn had WU's that varied tremendously as far as required processing power/elapsed time (0.01 s to several minutes) required, and all of the WU's counted for one point. So unless there is a way to incorporate that fact in the conversion to the new scores, maybe the old point...

or even a swap to a different project running at the same PC? Checkpointless WUs should not swap to another project. But if you have "Keep WUs in memory" selected, it wouldn't matter anyway. True, but with 8 CPUs running longer eon WU's without checkpointing any system shutdown would be a...

On the matter of longer/bigger workunits, will checkpointing be implemented in those? As far as I can tell, the current workunits do not checkpoint and thus, on a system restart (or even a swap to a different project running at the same PC?) they will happily restart from zero. That's no real proble...

While we are on the subject :) Could you please generate the XML statistics a bit more frequently, say once every 6 hours, to keep us statistics-junks happy? I presume you have a million other things to do after going live with BOINC, so no priority whatsoever. Just put it on the bottom of your to-d...
