    Question about RC5-72

    I have a question about how the distributed.net server sends the workunits to users.

    Let's say that there are 1 billion keys available.

    The server sends the WUs sequentially, like:

    first user request, server sends a WU with keys from 1 to 32;
    second user request, server sends a WU with keys from 33 to 64;
    third user request, server sends a WU with keys from 65 to 96;
    fourth user request, server sends a WU with keys from 97 to 128;
    and so on...

    Or the server doesn't send the WUs sequentially, like:

    first user request, server sends a WU with keys from 33 to 64;
    second user request, server sends a WU with keys from 481 to 512;
    third user request, server sends a WU with keys from 353 to 384;
    fourth user request, server sends a WU with keys from 609 to 640;
    and so on...

    I think the server uses the last approach.
