WoW it was just on time. The ending of the GPU project and the rising of the external air temperatures were causing me some "anxiety".

If there is no continuation on the GPU side then the attained rankings by those crunching full speed GPU, will now become immutable for a long long time. Going back in the daily ppd by a factor of 10-15 will have the effect of putting every body in slow motion. Those hoping to catch up in the ranks with GPU crunching will brutally hit a wall of water.
Say that you were gaining 1 million ppd on your front runner (he runs only CPU) and the gap was 20 million, then you would catch him in 20 days. Now if we revert to CPU crunching you may gain 70 kppd which means that you need 285 days or over 9 months. And very likely you may well be in an opposite situation and even loose ground towards him if he is a CPU only cruncher.

All GPU crunchers brace for impact. I see the giant rogue wave coming fast and is nearly 1000 feet high
