I've checked again your host today and I've seen this: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=4166601&offset=40&show_names=0&state=2
All 2 hundred and 3 hundred sec tasks were done by your 285. All two-digit sec tasks were done by your tesla. This is completely abnormal.

well i just went back to 2.6.25, recompiled everything to do with cuda/boinc, made sure there were no cuda 2.3 libs laying around so now we wait and see if that changes anything. looks like im still gonna get 30 min workunits but time will tell.
booted off my windows "nvidia checking" disk and checked both cards with rivatuner and also evga precision and it all looks right. everything set to factory except fans which i keep at 100%. did not use them to set anything simply cancelled out of whatever i looked at. i only use nvclock to set fans on boot of linux after X has reset them both.
riofl:
12 workunits done and still around 26min. a little faster average than before at 30 min but...
this is odd
riofl:
also the 3 digit time workunits are still the 285 and 2 digit the tesla. i wonder if it has something to do with how busy my desktops are? i have quite a lot going on 24/7 with 18 gkrellm server monitors running in one desktop, usually 4 or 5 browser windows in different desktops with maybe 28 or so tabs open, average 8 or 10 ssh konqueror tabs open into our servers, email, virtualbox running xp which also runs boinc, kopete, 8 or 9 postit notes in the various desktops, a few kedit windows open plus momentary things like adobe reader, smplayer or whatever.. im in totally new territory here. my experience in graphics cards is plug it in and make sure it works with a stable and peppy screen :)
however the 'busyness' of the desktops is not new and was basically the same when i had 10-13min workunits out of both cards.

i am trying to help someone in the boinc cuda forum. his workunits are giving strange things. he runs windows, the vlarkill cuda app and the ak cpu app, a 9400gt 1gb ram and the 190 driver with 2.3 toolkit. this is one of his workunits.. they are all similar..
his cuda app is specifically CUDA - MB_6.08_CUDA_V12_VLARKill_FPLim248.exe.

i dont know what the fft lines mean but i have a feeling they should not be there. my first thought was to drop back to the 185 series drivers and the 2.2 toolkit. im not sure 2.3 and a 9400 can work together.
any ideas?

The FFT lines are normal for those builds, just keeping some statistics on those which may give clues for future improvements. The FPLim2048 in the file name is also related to the same effort.
