    NumberFields@Home: Moving to fixed credit

    I have replaced CreditNew (or CreditScrew as some like to call it) with a fixed credit system.

    The fixed value is based on the average runtime from many samples from a single machine in a well controlled environment (one of my own computers). Obviously, the fixed value will change with each batch, since each batch has a different average runtime.

    This should be a pretty fair system, especially after a host has processed enough WUs for the average to kick in. The main downside is the potential for cherry pickers - hopefully there won't be too many of them.

    Good! Anything is better than the creditnew random number generator.
