Estimated PPD much higher than Actual.

I have a 3930k oc'd to 4.2ghz running on medium load in Client Control 7.3.6 and my estimated ppd is reporting as 37212 PPD. I ran at full load on the first 1.5 days and now well into the second day with workload changed to medium my total points are only 4644 Points. Am I doing something wrong to be hitting such low ppd? Score 4644 - # of WU = 7

Do you have a
passkey configured into the client?

My passkey is configured properly. Says, Passkey Valid: Entries Match

You need 10 completed WUs before you start earning bonus points.

I did read that somewhere. Does that mean that bonus points outweigh actual points?

On fast processors running 24/7, the bonus can be several times the base points.

10 completed with your passkey while maintaining at least an 80% successful return rate.
The QRB (Quick return Bonus) gives points exponentially dependent upon how fast the WU is returned and yes, it can be many times the base points.

PPD from my understanding means the estimated guess of points you would get from that particular WU if you got it for a straight 24hours period

My points suddenly dropped off from 2,500-12,000 pu to 222 pu sometime in early May 2013.
I don't have a passkey, I'm using 7.3.6 now and just moved to High from Medium load. The machine has an Intel i5-3450 CPU 3.10 GHz 3.10 GHz.
It is not processing any slower - the units per day seems the same.

There was a glitch in the stat system that was giving bonuses to many (all?) people without passkeys. The glitch was corrected around that time, at which point everyone without a passkey started seeing much lower point totals. Request a passkey
here and complete 10 bonus-eligible WUs, and you'll start seeing the PPD you used to.

Hope my earlier results were fair. Ten units won't take long.

"Fair"?
The error was caused by the servers temporarily failing to follow the QRB policy. (1) You didn't do anything wrong and (2) apparently everybody without a passkey benefited equally so I'd call it "fair." Moreover, it seems to have awakened a number of people, causing them to seek out information on the QRB, in ways that were not as effective as previous announcements. I'd say that probably was a net benefit to FAH.
