Since v1.21/v1.22 update, I have got a lot of validation errors.
Please check my stats/failed units, maybe that will help you to find a bug.
My system is BOINC 7.18 + Mac OS X 10.7.3 + AMD HD6750M 1GB

Thank you for the information.

But why BOINC can not use the following simple algorithm to calculate the remaining time:
1) Start the project and calculate the project until it gets to 0%+0.1%=0.1%
2) Multiply the elapsed time by 1/0.1-1=1000-1=999 and get the remaining time
3) Calculate until 0.1%+0.1%=0.2%
4) Multiply the elapsed time by 1/0.2-1=500-1=499 and get the remaining time
5) Calculate until 0.2%+0.1%=0.3%
6) etc. until 100%

Step is equal to 0.1%

Of course, this algorithm could use any step: 0.05, or 0.025, or 0.0125, or anything else.

That would solve the issue.

Binary Radio Pulsar Search 1.19 (atiOpenCLLion) application gives wrong estimates of remaining time, constantly.
In example, right now I have a WU which is complete about 10%, elapsed time is about 1 hour,
but the "remaining" time is near 83 hours - while it should be equal to some value near 9 hours.

For Mac OS X users, who have AMD GPU

How to fix the "Scheduler Wait" issue for atiOpenCLLion application:
1) Go to this URL (official file server): http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/
2) Click on "Last Modified" two times to sort the list by "latest to oldest" rule
3) Download and install the latest BOINC version: boinc_7.0.xx_macOSX_i686.zip
Currently, it is 7.0.11: boinc_7.0.11_macOSX_i686.zip
