Which is why I run every hour, since fresh task downloads with closer deadline can preempt tasks in cache and slip through the net.  Could still happen even then, but the probability is lower.

Geek@Play:
Understood Jason but nothing was prempted.  With a two day cache everything works it's way to the top.

Jason G:
Ahhh, I see how that could happen, yes.

...thinking...

[Ignoring DCF fluctuation & outage induced cache shrinkage effects] Let's say one day you run, and server had recently issued you a run of VLAR, so it re-marks half the 2 day cache (1 day worth) to CPU.  Now it downloads another day's worth for GPU.  Even if no new tasks preempt, you'll still be finished the already checked portion by the end of that day, before the next run of the rebranding, so for all we know the top-up portion that is now reached is loaded with VLARs that slip the net anyway.

Geek@Play:
I'll try scheduling it for twice each day but I still don't believe it's working properly with the default configuration.

Jason G:
quite possible, despite my comments.  I'm still using 1.2, so effectiveness of 1.3 edition itself I don't know either.
