It would be nice if there were intermediate save points in the next version of the application.

They don't have checkpoints in Gaia so I'm not hopeful on this one

At least the WUs don't take long so you don't loose much work on restart.
Hopefully they will have checkpoints if they become longer.

So , restarting jobs after ~3,5 hours x WU (near 90-100 % to completed) ... for me it's a waste of time , waste of resources and energy lost
Restarting one or more WU's after 1h or more elapsed time working it's a pitty.

a checkpoint every 20-30 minutes would be a good compromise
