Is this cheating?

Prompted by my anonymous and indeed solitary visitor, I downloaded Crunch3r's optimised Seti application. Boy did it increase my enthusiasm for our biggest project. So far I have contributed just 0.5% of our 28 million. That will change and I hope to be a millionaire in it by Xmas.

Just look at these stats & drool! Or more constructively, and prosocially, download.

Project ______ 6WUTime ________ 6WUCredit _______ Credit/Day
Rosetta _______ 11.1hrs ___________ 286 _____________ 2474
WCG _________ 20.4hrs __________ 399 _____________ 1877
Einstein ______ 43.8hrs __________ 1425 _____________ 3123
Cosmology ____ 3.22hrs ____ ______ 300 _____________ 8944
Seti__________ 12.2hrs ___ _______ 374 _____________ 2951
Seti[optimised] _ 5.9hrs ___________ 431 _____________ 7013
Yoyo _________ 42.3hrs __________ 1692 ____________ 3840

As regards the post title: Of course it isn't. Doing the same science in 40% of the time is a major service to the project so getting 250% the credit is only fair.
