PPD issue with Project 8022?

[Jesse_V]

I've been getting a lot of 8022's on my desktop running -advanced. Computationally things are going quite well, but for a good while now it's been creating a dip in PPD. I realize that my hardware's architecture might not match up squarely to the benchmark machine, but it is a bit disappointing. On my 2600K at 4.4 GHz I typically get about 33k PPD which holds fairly steady throughout other projects but when folding 8022's I get around 29k, a 4k PPD difference. I don't believe there's been any significant changes to my computing setup. I mean points are made up and its computational resources and quick returns that really matters, but I know that there are a number of people out there who get really attached to their PPD. I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing a similar dip, or if such 12% fluctuations is in fact normal. I guess it depends on the architectures vs the WU.

The allowable fluctuation of WU's is + - 15% which in reality is a 30% fluctuation which, I personally believe is a little to much but the 12% you are experiencing is considered normal and acceptable.

That + - 15% is on the benchmark machine, so there could be situations where different achitecture creates different values for different computers?
