Dr Allen has a post about Albert, which he is updating with answers to crunchers' questions, so you only have to read the first post.

So apparently, contrary to what I said above,  -oops , WU times will vary, but will often be shorter, as Udo found.
Who gets what WU is random for the moment... |
I got some of the new WU's on one of my computers. Wow, they can be really small. They take ~9,400 seconds (~13 claimed credits) whereas the old ones took ~53,000! These new WU's might work well for folks who have dropped out because they have a slower machine.
I also have some of the new ones on my home computer, but I don't know how long they will take (I'm at work now).
