My thoughts exactly - I presume I will still get credit for crunching them, it will just take a little bit longer?

I'm not sure I trust this tool. For example, how does it know how many pendings you have? The only way I know of counting them is to fully parse your pendings listing..........

.....errr no, this means the servers think you have over 4000 more tasks than you actually do (if the number of ghosts is correct)!

They appear to have implemented some code on the servers that is doing some limited re-sends for ghost units, although nobody has yet figured out how the code actually works, and when!

It appears this tool may well be accurate; it does actually account for pendings. However, there is some debate about it usage and its effect on the DB.......
