Edit by Mod: Split from a topic about a different WU.
Similar issue with 7611 (0, 31, 121). I am running i7-3770K. Work units on my machine tend to be no more than 10 mins/frame, and this one was averaging about 40 mins/frame.
With the 7611 WU, I had an estimated 50K PPD. With a newer WU, I have an estimated 53K PPD

At a SMP setting of 2 on your i7, it might be a bad WU like others mentioned in this topic. But you would need to have TPF figures for other Project 7611 WU's done on your machine to compare with to be certain. You can't compare TPF's between WU's from different projects, they are of various sizes. What else is running on your system?
iMac 2.8 i7 12 GB smp8, Mac Pro 2.8 quad 12 GB smp6
MacBook Pro 2.9 i7 8 GB smp3
I split my cores off to allow three projects to run concurrently and allow one for other computer use as well as GPU folding. Using this config, I went from 30K PPD to 53-54K PPD.
Here is the last 7611 project I had a couple weeks ago. Avg TPF was about 14-15 mins.

You've made a very poor choice. You get extra points for finishing a WU more promptly. By only allocating 2 cores, you're assuring that each WU runs at more or less 1/3 the speed that it would if you allocated 6 cores. The bonus program is set up so that one project using 6 cores will ALWAYS earn more points than running 3 projects each using only two cores.
Set two of your stots to Finish the WUs they're currently working on and then remove two of the slots. Change the other slot from 2 to 6 cores and watch your TPF decrease to about 1/3 and your PPD increase significantly. That will still leave two cores for the GPU and for other things if that's what you choose to do.
You can right-click on the slot to allow just that slot to be set to finish.
