Not exactly. It is close. The default is to run 0.903 of a cpu thread...or at least that what it was showing me on my tasks that were running without any changes. I tend to try and micro-manage my tasks to do things exactly how I want it. If one can find some slight variance to improve their performance, I say go with it! I often will extend the number of threads far more than the default if I can get a better return. (I've actually run some gpu tasks using all 8 cpu threads on some projects including Collatz.) But if it wants to read as default instead of what I want it to use, it's pretty much useless to have.
Oh, I remember! And every time it popped up after April 1st, I was reminded. On April 1st I wasn't signed up for the project yet. After that scenario, I had to wonder if the message about phasing out multi-size tasks was a joke or not. Until I saw my first large task, I didn't know if it was for real.
Well I'm trying a Large wu on my GTX 570 atm. BOINC currently says 86+ days but we all know that is just BOINC freaking out. My calcs estimate 11+ hours. And yes, I set up the Large config before starting the wu.
Anyone getting better times on their 570s?
Mine were finished in 12.2 hours.
It certainly seems to be a big boy playpen, that's for sure. My 280Xs are wrapping up about like EmSti's 7970s (unsurprisingly), but the 7870 is sucking wind. Over 8, nearly 9 hours to complete a big one for about 221K. I think I'll take that back to solo after completing one-two more for comparison's sake, but I'm not used to CC taking anything Pitcairn or better out behind the woodshed. I know what I was on track to hit total credit wise, and if I don't see it in the next couple days- oh well, just have to adjust. It's still a useful tool for those 4 people who bought the 295X.

Crunch 'n munch. Click to see what's chugging.
As a footnote, the GTX 780 takes a little over 7 hours to finish one. I did 2 and moved back to Solo.
