Prime95 updates this information on a program restart (as you found out)
and every 65536 iterations. I've fixed it to update this every 128
iterations.
The 18 vs. 24 hours a day info will cause the estimate to be off by 25%
as prime95 assumes the 6 off hours are distributed uniformly throughout
the day.
Keep those bug reports coming,
George
