Unfortunately the new ROQS WUs aren't as good as the Fokker-Plancks or Iquanas they were handing out last year. Still they are the highest scoring CPU project I've seen so far.
Note that the ROQS WUs are, at the moment, limited to 4-cores each so 8-core machines should be able to do two in parallel (it may take a little messing about to achieve this).

Looks like we might be in luck - they've just run up a bunch of Fokker-Plancks to keep us happy and the ROQs look like ther're finishing...

...4th out of 5th now. I'd say we need a little help on this one if it wasn't for the fact the the FP WUs look like they're running out and there isn't nuffing else in the pipeline...

Aye! I should've kept a longer queue that way I could've piled up the WUs while waiting for the server to wake up..... hopefully before the end of the comp though they did say they were having disc problems....

Last SIXTEEN HOURS. Make sure those caches are empty and you haven't got a stack of 'Ready to Report' sitting there. :)
