I have been confused as to why my completed WU count has not increased from 240, when I have done at least a dozen more. Checked my results page and see there are a lot of "started too late" and "completed, missed deadline" messages ( or words to that effect )

What's the point then of me participating if i can't get a WU turned around fast enough ?

Well only you can answer the question.

It looks like you have downloaded too many to process. What are your cache setting? The atom isn't the fastest CPU around so you would probably want a minimal cache setting like zero and zero.

BOINC blog

it's set to default or whatever the benchmark test sets it too

1) The 'task cache' is set here (and means total work from all the projects):
http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/prefs.php?subset=global

Maintain enough tasks to keep busy for at least XX days (set this to 1-2)
... and up to an additional YY days (set this to 0.1)

(but if you set any value in BOINC Manager - all they (local preferences) are in effect, not the values from the web page)


2) Your CPU needs 25-40 hours to compute an Asteroids@home task.
Do you see the same range of estimated time for not started tasks?
