(moderation:
Hey, this is weird. Looking at my results it would seem that my machine was claiming around 95 points for a typical 33,000 second wu until the 16th when it started claiming 75 for the same job of work.
The same trend is apparent in my results at Predictor where I was claiming around 30 for a 10,000 second job, but after the 16th, this has reduced to 23.
My machine has not changed in this period, and looking at the benchmarks I'm getting arouns 1280 Whetstones as usual. What I did do on the 16th was change my BOINC core client from 4.19 to 4.25. Core client thread.
Can anyone explain this?
*** EDIT ***
My SETI results show a similar drop.

Response from reputable member at Predictor...
Prior to 4.2x the windows client was returning bad benchmark scores, resulting in too much credit being requested. This has been corrected in the lastest versions.
... okay, so now we know!
