Guilt notice: some of you guys who signed up (?) must not have run the app for the first time because there are still only five people listed. We need more CPUs in action!
I've had some WU's take up to 18 hours - and that's with nothing else running.
Some are bigger (and take longer) than others, but it looks like that the size of your WU is taken into account from what I've been observing from my score.
I'm guessing that you get more points once you process a larger protein.
