What are you using to monitor PPD and what is the clock speed on your CPU? Not sure what 2600Ks should get but someone else can answer.
TPF is the time to finish each chunk of the WU. There are usually 100 frames. The SMP bonus system is based on how long it takes for you to complete the WU and upload it to Stanford again. So if your TPF goes up (your using the comptuer, antivirus scan is running, you shut it down overnight ect.) the bonus goes down.
hope that helps.

Thanks for that.
I've figured you really can't compare against others but take the 2 units I mentioned: 7020 vs. 7027, TPF changed a lot between them with nothing changing at my end. The first was over 5 mins (explaining why the whole thing took a long time) while the 7027 is down at 1min 40 seconds.
I've only got the FAHControl panel or whatever it's called, can't see my overall points or what's coming etc. So basically it comes down to the size of the work unit, in this case 7020 being a lot bigger than 7027? Is this information anywhere?
