with boinc credits the simple rule is there's no pleasing anyone.  I actually 
think that if my GPU does 10 times the work of a CPU that I should get 10 times 
the credit (which I think is what you or the noisier credit people are 
complaining about)?  at the very least, that promotes better energy efficiency 
for a project in addition to faster turnaround times for a workunit.

but you can come up with whatever credit granting scheme you want; on cpdn we 
give a certain amount per "trickle" (usually a model-year), adjusted for how 
tough the climate model is.  on quake-catcher I give 50 cobblestones per 
realtime day of running a sensor etc.  but there will always be complainers and 
at best you can come up with a compromise credit system (just try and get to a 
sensible credit average as Eric Korpela has posted about with stats on the 
various projects and their "credit drift" etc --- basically get a machine that 
grants aqua credit at a similar rate for a s...@home workunit running the same 
amount).
