More is less on the PS3?

Is it just me, but looking at the WUs which have so far been crunched on my PS3, the ones which are taking the longest times are scoring the least amount of credit. :confused:

This is the opposite to what's happening with the Folding Console running on my AMD computer (longer WUs score more credit). Has anyone else using a PS3 noticed this?

I don't have a PS3 but there is a list of projects and their scores here.
Going by the deadlines the points are in line with the times but there are two different sets of wu's, are the lower ppd ones from the 31xx wu's or the 25xx series? look for GRO-PS3 in the "code" column.

Also make sure you're comparing the total time of the WUs rather than the time per step since they may have different numbers of steps

Meh my PPD has jumped 100 points since the update :/ Quicker WUs = more points here.

nooo not frames - steps

The PS3 client, like the normal GUI client, gives a time/step reading - where the number of steps could be 100,000 to 5,000,000 or who knows what else.
I believe there is also a time/WU reading available so this should be the one used when comparing points.
