No I haven't changed the hours per day. The only variability is that Prime95 can run from 0 to say 22 hours per day, depending on my activites. This is a laptop that goes to and from work/home/travel. The completion time goes from Sep to Dec and back again pretty reandomly. I haven't correlated it much with recent useage, except that letting it have a good long run, 24 hours straight or 48 over a weekend, seems to bring the predicted completion date down, as you'd expect if recent usage is influencing the prediction. This is a phenomenon that comes up all the time. Eg. in a long download, 4GB of some Linux distribution say, you'd like 2 predictions of time left, one based on overall performance to date, one based on the last 5 minutes, so you can assess the most likely outcome.
