At the End of August I started a sulphur cycle with about 2100 credits per day. About 9 days ago this has dropped to about 200 credits a day !! Is this normal for this project? Why does the Statistics Page show such a drastic change ??

The credit was granted at ~ 141.7 credits per trickle. This was 50% more than a slab trickle but was taking about 70% longer. This was changed to about 160.7 per trickle. Perhaps this adjustment was done during the time you measured the 2100 credits per day?

If you do 4 sulphur trickles in 3 days, 200 credits per day is about right.

There has also been adjustment to the RAC to make it more realistic.

As Chris pointed out, the number you are now getting for RAC (230 something) is much more representative of how much work your PC is doing than the 2100 you previously had. One to two trickles per day adds up to about 230.

RAC was ridiculously inflated late in the summer as a large amount of credits were dumped into user accounts due to a credit recalculation that Carl did. At that point, it became obvious that the RAC calculation was not working as it should, and Carl changed the RAC equation to one that was more realistic.
