The statistics for me indicates my systems needs for "Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy - Phase 2" about 41 hours for about 53.000 points and about 54 hours for "Human Proteome Folding - Phase 2" to get the same amount of points.

Under the assumption, that the efficiency of different computer platforms to compute results for different projects is really measured by the # of points - what's about using this as a decision criteria for the central work unit scheduler ?

The World Community Grid has forums of their own, where you can better ask these things.

BOINC doesn't do any work, nor will it tell project how many credits to give out under the old web-code. So it will not tell WCG how many points (credits times 7) to give out per application and task set. When you find inconsistencies in these, you will have to take it up with the project. BOINC really has no effect on it.
