BOINC credit/points explained

What I'm curious about/tend to feel about the benchmarking process is that it no longer seems to matter what our benches are. High or Low, or right in the middle. Of course if everyone had higher benches; if the quorum, for any given WU, was higher due, to all participants in the quorum scoring higher then it would matter.

So I just try to get the machine to run as fast as possible, stabile, so as to go through as many WUs as possible. And benchmark be damned. I barely even look at it anymore.

Am I wrong, or am I missing something here. In regards to the benchmark.

edit - If you'd like me to delete this, so as to unclutter a good and simple explanation/info post I will. Just let me know.
