Reminder to all the PG faithful from a non-believer :D:

Summer Para Olympics starts in just more than one week.

Extended Sierpinski Problem LLR (ESP) is the project, CPU only, 5 days long, Recent average CPU time: 32:43:49. Great. Another long task/short race contest. lol

Are you sure each are this long? I distinctly remember that it takes less than 12 hours per WU, unless they went up a few k's

Of course they aren't that long....if you have modern equipment. But you have the guys out there who just can't see tossing out that old Pentium-3-766 because it still works, so they give it some PrimeGrid to chew on for a week at a time, bringing up the avg time. :D

But even at 12 hours per task, per core, for 5 days....that's only 10 tasks per core. Thus my grumbling about long tasks/short races.

Well 1 day and 7 hours after downloading some units to test, they are still only at 54%. So 33 hrs..... Maybe longer, for my E3-1230 v3 might go into ~48 hours

This looks like a project that is going to make my old athlon x2 cry(or maybe not finish in time).
