The reason these WU's complete so quickly
is the results.sah file gets very large & there
is a limit on the size of a result file & when it
reaches that size, the Client stops processing
& sends the result back & requests a new chunk
of data to process.

I'll put the question is simpler terms:

Anyone had short/fast work units NOT accepted
recently?  How about you Charity?  You have a
level head & have had similar probs in the past,
would you like to process said WU's & see what
happens?

The WU's that complete rapidly are ones that
have calibration signals injected. I think the
data is still good though (real radio noise
data)??

Well, if the noise is also injected then I can
see why they would be processed so
quickly! No reason to run those for more
than a short time with generated (injected)
signal in white or gaussian noise.
