I don't think that I have ever seen this before. But P16950 on my Ryzen 3950X (Ubuntu 18.04) started at TPF of 3 minutes, and is slowing down at the end to 30 minutes.
I am wondering whether it will finish or not.

I've seen some CPU WU's on each of my systems appear to start slow, but then they appear to reach a decent completion speed after the 2% mark is reached.

But I'm not worried. I'll just keep calm and fold on. After all, COVID's demise is on my schedule--until further notice.

FAHCore_a8 is relatively new to me, but with some older cores and with older projects, this was explained by noting that the shape of the protein is changing. The motions of each atom is influenced mostly by the nearby atoms. If the atoms are sparse, the calculations are faster than if the atoms are closely packed because more calculations must be performed during each time-step.

In this particular case, that may or may not be the reason.

It does make it difficult to assign an appropriate number of points to all WUs in the project.

True, that was another anomaly, but not one that I am worried about. I get concerned about "stuck" work units, which are prevalent on some projects.
I have not seen them here though. If it is just a result of the workload, I can live with that.

I've had this issue with GPU WUs if I suddenly do something GPU intensive and then stop. Even after I free up the GPU, the TPF stays tripled in length.

Welcome to the F@H Forum Ultrafire3,

Please note that the triple TPF will gradually come back to normal once at least 4% of the WU has been completed without any interruptions. Generally, the TFP being displayed uses the last 3% to calculate it thus, the "lag" in updating it.
