Another good reason to use CPU-time:
If you get some WUs, start calculating and set the clock to +5hours, the calculation is immediately finished and one gets the full credits.
Using the run time is really a bad idea.

It seems that the 200 credit and the run time are fix - no matter which calculating power a CPU has, right?

Is it not possible to divide the CPU time by the run time and multiply this result with 200?
Then 2 WUs on one core would get only half of the credits, 4 WUs get 25% and so on.

Boinc has the possibility to set any number of CPU-cores.
So it is possible to run 2 or 4 or 8 or 16 WUs on one CPU-core.
The WUs end always at about 4-5h run time - no matter how much cpu time they needed.
An old 4core Athlon CPU can get more credits than an state-of-the-art 16core 5950X cpu, when setting the number of cpu cores on the Athlon to 64.

Please change this from run time to cpu time - like all other boinc projects are doing.
