Confidence limits on times
BOINC's time prediction (through no fault of its own) is notoriously inaccurate. However, BOINC already tracks a lot of information about time. Would it be possible to keep enough historical information about each project to be able to give an indication of the precision that the estimate has?
Then, time to completion can be shown as (e.g.) 9 hours ± 3 hours.

Obviously, this is supposed to be an enhancement. Doh.
