Thank you for the nomination! It was fun to play with settings for PrimeGrid for the last half of the year and felt good to place 3rd for our team overall. My other goal was to break into the Top 50 for F@H which I accomplished as well. Currently I am trying to get 20 BOINC projects over 1M...
Nice bonus on the DYFL tasks. My 3080 took around 18 hours but it granted almost 1M points. I only had it at 64% power. I pushed it up to 80% to see what kind of gain I can get.
3070 is around 29 1/2 hours at 62%. I will bump that one to 80% as well to see what the time shortens by.
Update...
My 5900 is averaging just under 11.5 hours for Woodall running 6 threads per task. My 3600 is averaging around 12 hours for Woodall at 6 threads per task. I am not getting too many Cullen tasks.
I was able to run two tasks just to see if one project was faster than the other. The results were extremely close and the difference is probably FAH in the background using a virtual thread or me browsing the internet.

For the upcoming challenge, do you leave the thread/task ratio at 1:1 or is it better to increase it?
I know the overall instructions recommend it but some of these challenges see a benefit while others do not.
