A P4 3.0 without HT crunches an average of 95 cands per day, or 4 cands per hour, giving average docking time of 15 minutes. A P4 3.0 with HT can do up to 150 cands per day running two instances of the client, giving 75 cands per day per client, or 3 cands per hour per client, resulting in average docking time of 20 minutes. Since most of your 150 machines were P4 3.0, you should have average docking time of between 15 and 20 minutes, depending on what proportion had HT capabilities. Since you said that the 600 other machines you used for the finish were mostly slower, you would have an even higher average docking time. But the D2OL stats page show your average docking time as 12 mins 03 secs. How is that possible?

With 150 P4 3.0 rigs your daily production should be between 14,000 and 22,500 cands, again depending on the proportion with HT. Since your last dump was 75 days before Dec. 25, how is it that you only had 700,000 cands instead of 1,050,000 to 3,375,000 cands, without even including the other 600 machines that you used later?

And how do you explain that with so many machines of varying speeds, that you were able to have dumps that ended with 0 not only on consecutive days, but every hour, and actually every 15 minutes? Did the slower machines all finish the 2,000 cands?

I will stop here for now because I think there is enough for everyone to form a conclusion.
