I know that the time will adjust itself soon since this is the first Collatz GPU task that this computer has done, but I still thought it was funny enough to mention.

After just over 2 hours running this task, Collatz is estimating that the task will be completed in 1483:08:30. That would be a pretty massive job if true! I don't think even the old "huge" ClimatePrediction jobs took 62 days, and 62 days on a GPU is just insane... :)

This is normal for Collatz when running a new application. It will show more accurate on the next WU.
But be prepared for it to take a lot longer than previously. The new WUs are 32 times bigger!!

Like I said, I know that the time will be adjusted. I just thought it was funny to see a 62 day time estimate on a task that has a 7 day deadline.
