My thought is that with the introduction of GPU WUs recently, practically everyone can get far higher PPD than before. IIRC, we were requiring 12k PPD for the "Five-Star" Cruncher badge, which I think made a lot of sense; that could be accomplished with 3/4 OCed quads running full blast and was consequently reserved for a "select few".
Now, a single Geforce GTX470 coupled with a Core 2 Duo can get 16-17k PPD. My preference, and I certainly want team input on it, is that we consider doubling the PPD requirements for stars (or at least 4-stars and 5-stars). Perhaps even increasing them more; given that with two $100 GPUs you can now get ~30k+ PPD, we may even want a higher requirement.
What do you guys think? Are things good as they are, or, if not, how should they be changed?
