Please take my ignorance with a smile. If I knew the answer, I wouldn't ask the question.

GPUGRID.net distributes WU to the Grid, gets it back & new WU's are based on previous WU's. Have I understood this correctly? Ok, so these WU's are collected & checked are they in any way processed prior to getting sent back as new WU's, if so, does this require a lot of time & money, & if so, is there a way to do it cheaper, maybe also faster, by leasing from the Cloud? Instead of doing everything on the Cloud, maybe combining the "free" of the Grid with the "cheap" of the Cloud?

Yes.

No, WU turn-around is cheap to do.

Once the WU chains are complete the trajectory analysis can be quite expensive to do, but we have our own in-lab machines for dealing with that.
