Time is not creditted until lucas lehmer test results are checked in. If you
have systems that have not yet submitted a result, they are not yet 'counted'.
Also, if you started out with a few systems, then later added more, realize
the hrs/day is averaged since you joined primenet. It took me a LONG time to
get up around 300hrs/day since I ran for several months with only 2 systems (I
have 9 or 10 working now).

Thats 5 days minimum. Current sized LL tests are taking upwards of a month on
a typical machine. When you get 5 days from completing one, you will probably
fetch a new candidate. If these systems are setup for dialup and manual
access, you might want to set a bigger minimum. My systems are all on LAN w/
direct connect, and I *still* set them for 60 days so that if there is an
extended network problem or whatever, they stay busy.
