I guess what's happenning is that mprime checks in a single assignment after completing the P-1 factoring. The default config these days leaves factoring until the assignment reaches the top of the heap. mprime -c only forces connection to server if prime.spl exists (there are unreported results!) or if there is now less work remaining than your specified value. If you want to force updating completion dates, run mprime -m & use the "manual communication" menu (item 12 I think).
