It's the same deal in Folding@Home. I read on foldingforum.org that they use the University of Kentucky to either crunch really large work units they can't distribute / don't want to break up, or to benchmark new units that are going to hit the field. I'd imagine its much the same for WCG, where they contract out the use of their supercomputer (think they've got a pretty spiffy one).
