Yes, later on, normally you will get at the beginning higher credits and then its normalize to your FLOPs, could also be the benchmark causing low values.

	With a higher n value the WUs will be longer and longer, fixed credits are not good in this constellation.

	Hm, I don't know how exactly PrimeGrid did solve that, but as far as I observed the fixed credits there for some subprojects do adjust (themselves?) to the length of the WUs - maybe this n value plays a role in the credit adjustment then. ____________ *2126396^65889+1 and 7218991^50722-1* are my Primes!

	Well, I do care about credits. It looks like this will be another project that I will not be too interested, although I will be crunching some. To me CreditNew is ridiculously low. I am paying $700+ a month for electricity just for BOINC purposes. I am not a monkey and expect to be paid peanuts. Since there are other worthwhile projects to crunch with set credits that are better than Credit New, I will not follow any project that uses Credit New. That is my personal choice and I do not wish to argue about it. It is about time that BOINC Administration wakes up and realize that we want a decent credit for what we are doing as Volunteers after all it means nothing to them and it costs us a lot of money.

I went to fixed credits now. See the news. The advantage of AVX was not implemented in credit new.
