Yes, I realize that PPD of the WUs they hand out changes over time; but my estimates are based on actual time required to compute one step of the WU currently in progress. It was just that my CPU load was fluctuating all over the place (stupid Flash ads!) which was throwing the estimate off, and this error was then being amplified by the bonus calculation.

Hah, so there are x21 WUs. What GPU card(s) are you using? It has been more than a year since I've had a GPU work unit fail.
