Hi Richard,

Yeah, I see about a 9 hour average with my G4/933. Some are faster and
some are slower. Fastest was in the 6 hours something. Longest was
upwards of 14 hours, if memory serves.

I roughly get about 2.2-2.6 WU per day with that machine.

Of course if I am doing anything else, the WU accomplishment lags quite a
bit. And as you know the angle affects the time as well.
