#1 Amicable Attention! There are very huge work units on the project now

Application is not hung if it's running the same task for many hours.
You don't need to abort it as long as you're able to finish the task within 2 days 9 days.
My work generator is certainly not perfect, and I'll improve it before generating new work units. It was supposed to generate work units that would take no more than 2 hours on a typical 4-core Core i7 PC.
All completed huge work units will be eventually awarded with appropriate credits when they're validated.
UPDATE: I've extended deadlines for all pending tasks from 2 days to 9 days. If you have a long running task, you should check progress after 24 hours, and if it's more than 13-14%, you should be safe to finish in time.
UPDATE 2 (2017-01-25, 13:18 UTC): Work generator is now improved. New work units will be much more uniform. All work units starting with WU#4001 should have run time of no more than a few hours on 4-core processors.
