Any other BOINC specific WU's you would like me to test.

Hi muon, do you have a passkey set? Using a passkey, among other things, allows you access to the Quick Return Bonus (QRB) which boosts your points massively.

https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/points/passkey/

What is the purpose of a passkey?
A passkey uniquely identifies you as an individual donor and is associated with results that you have completed. Previously we did not have unique identifiers in Folding@home (usernames for example can be shared by many people). One main benefit of passkeys is that if someone cheats, we will not need to zero out the points of everyone with that username — only the offending party and those without passkeys.

Perhaps more interestingly, we have introduced a new Quick Return Bonus (QRB) points program, which is tied to passkeys. To earn this bonus, you must use a passkey.

Finally, the existence of passkeys opens up future possibility of displaying your individual credit and other information, rather than just by username, so use the same passkey for all clients.

To start to get the QRB you have to return 10 bonus eligible WU's before it kicks in, and you have to maintain a 80% success rate for all WU's to keep getting it.

So probably the day after you apply it you'll start to see a big jump in your points

Depends what you had before

If you can replace a bunch of old stuff with new stuff and save a bit of leccy then why not?

Plus as I'm a tech addict, I kill two birds with one stone
