Welcome to DHEP Dan
A work unit is a measure of computational effort. There is some calculation in some thread somewhere which gives an estimate of how much time on a 2.8Ghz machine this is equivalent to. I'll try and find it..
Can someone explain what one work unit represents?
Thank you,

quoting this thread:
Before this measure was in place the number of circuit evaluations was counted for the island rankings but the problem is that some circuits are easier to compute than others so you had weeks where everyone participating was clocking up at 10 times the rate as the previous week!For a 2.8Ghz machine this is roughly 39 effort units per second. So for 2.4 it would be roughly 33 effort units per second..
