My guess is that efficiency should be used to adjust a task's duration.  If a task has a duration of 1 day and a resource with an efficiency of 0.5 gets assigned to it the task should be scheduled for two days.  This is what the man page leads me to believe.

I can find no evidence this works.  I went to the test example and changed the efficiency of of the one resource to 3. I then changed the duration of all three tasks to be 3.  I would expect that the tasks should only be scheduled for one day.  The tasks are scheduled for three days.

I then took the same example and reset the task duration's to 1.  I then changed the resource's efficiency to 0.33.  I would have expected all tasks to be scheduled for 3 days.  Opensched scheduled all the task for one day.

What am I missing?
