Well I have a Pentium: no fiddle factor. It's 166 MHz and I have 24 h/day
set, so I should have my speed calculated as a clean 166.

The line in question says WorkPreference=0. There is only one
WorkPreference line, no duplicates with conflicting values.
Local.Ini says CPUType=5 and CPUSpeed=166.It has SelfTestnnnPassed=0 for
nnn = 64, 60, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 224, and 256. CPUHours=24. Various
RollingAverages and EndDatesSent stuff. And SelfTest320Passed=1.
