It's just that when I used to get 30 mpg and now get only 20 mpg, I am concerned that something is wrong. I was just using credits as a CPU utilization metric. Ah well.

The first time I used BOINC, I had a hard time getting it running. Oh installed all right, and ran the tasks, but overnight it did nothing. New machines and I tried again with you. All ok until I installed Mountain Lion on my iMAC. Average host credits fell from 4700 to 3200, but are now creeping back.

I just don't want to keep the machine on if it is doing no work. The activity log shows tasks starting, stopping and uploading, just no credits being accumulated. Could this be just some statistical anomaly?

Black aka 20026 is dead and will never come back. I you have any work assigned to it, it is best that it is relocated. Black aka 25989 is also losing average host credits. It turns out that it was turning itself off because it was too hot, over 95F, in the computer room. But it has been running for three straight days and the average credits is still dropping.

I tried to merge the two Blacks, after all they are the same computer, but BOINC said no.
