For several weeks I have been running with my 'target CPU run time' value at 10 hours. I wanted to increase that parameter SLIGHTLY.

But today the webpage offers me the choice of setting that value to 10 hours, or to 16 hours -- NOTHING in between.

Does the project not __trust__ us volunteer participants if instead we wished to set that value to, say, 12 hours ??

I just added more time options as requested. We are still waiting until recent bug fixes and work arounds for the 1% bug are tested on ralph before increasing the maximum to more than 1 day.

Wow! 10hrs to respond to a new user request! A new record perhaps!

Regarding the time preferences, could you also have a look at Mikus' other post. Is there something to the pattern of the WUs that exceed the preference time?

Thank you. I have now changed that parameter value to 12 hours.

[I had seen occasional WUs take longer than the target specification. But given that the ideal scheduler should finish the WU *before* the target is reached, I felt that my target value deserved to be bumped up a little from where it was before.]
