I'm just baffled because the log shows it being 1/3 the speed of the last fold, though the client itself claims it's less than 1/40th the speed. Along with this, why would it even be 1/3 the speed? Nothing has changed.
The WU has changed. Different work units have different difficulties which impacts the time it takes to do the work. I have found the client displays to be completely unreliable. I always look at the logs. As long as your percent complete in the logs keeps moving up everything is fine as far I know.
Hmm, looking at the past one, it seems you are right:

This new one appears to be 2x as many steps. Why that means it takes 3x as long confuses me though. But does this also mean that the new one is worth at least 2x as many points and therefore, while the time is a lot longer, the reward is better to compensate?
