Rank is rather hopeless as a metric.  I dedicate 1% of computing power to
some projects and I am in the top few.  On others I dedicate 33% of
computing power and I am not in the top thousand.

Solution:  Give up on cross-project credit parity.  It's an impossible
goal.  QCN anyone?  If cross-project comparison is needed, do it via
rank.  As long as the credits within each project are stable, that
works fine.
