This interested me so, as I had some time on my hands, I lifted the data from the Stanford team page and bunged it into a spreadsheet and worked out the averages for the team.
I uploaded the spreadsheet to here if anyone is even remotely interested
(Data as at 08:30 10/04/06)There are some mighty high averages there, it would be interesting to have a breakdown of the WUs done to achieve these high averages.
I really must find something more constructive to do with my time

you can see exactly what Ken has had if you look on his Personal Page then clicking on the "Detailed listing for projects xxx-xxx" - at a glance it looks like there were quite a few 600 pointers in that lot which would make sense as they aren't exclusively -advmethodsBigstan said:
it would be nice if they could put the points for each project on the same page - don't think that'll happen anytime soon though
I got a 449 pointer, but its taking forever ...45mins\[email protected] 
45 minutes * 100 = 3.12500 days to complete
449 points / 3.12500 days = 143.68 points per day.
Though not spectacular, those numbers are A-OK in my eyes. They beat the 110 ppd global average benchmark.

Well it ain't great but there's probably nothing wrong, you've just got one that ain't as good. Don't sweat it. Just wait it out.
If people post PPD that is way too low I start to suspect that something is broken and SSE is off or something similar.

Maybe if it would sweat a bit more it wouldn't be quite so hot... 
yup - the difference is the availability of large WUs with bonus pointssr4470 said:
140ppd without bonus points is very good going
once the QMDs return there should be less problem getting decent WUs - until then it's just treacle time

That reminds me, I forgot to put -advmethods on...

Now the part i don't understand is how do you let the client know that is meant to pick up Beta WU's once your accepted or how do the servers know which PC/client to give a beta WU from say the many PC's/clients you may be running (if that makes sense, tis monday after all)
EDIT I think i've worked it out, you have to insert a certain flag

Rich would know more than me about how it works (and perhaps you too, Major), but it's most of the beta-tester wrangling done on the server side? For non-beta testers, -advmethods does not enable beta WUS. It enables the newest stable WUs; WUs that were in beta a short time ago.
So what you're saying is that beta testers get the secret decoder ring via carrier pidgeon that they then use to decode Vijay Pande's brainwaves that then gives them an uber-secret command-line flag that asks for beta WUs? I get it now.Mattus said:
