Hmm. Researching QL has skyrocketed for me compared to last round. What used to cost me 1.500.000 per WU now costs me 6.832.000, and no, I haven't upgraded my research buildings at all. I must be missing something, but I didn't see anything in the info about this, and I didn't see any announcement saying that the costs would be calculated any differently this round.
So help this poor addled old lady out and tell me what I'm not seeing. I'm sure it's something simple that just isn't sinking in at the moment. This is going to make researching a LOT tougher to do. Oy.

EDIT -- Well, I went back and read that part of the Manual yet again, and I did miss something, so I calculated it incorrectly. This is one of those times when better eyesight would be handy - I missed the part where you have to square the target QL. I'll have to get my math wiz son to help me figure it out in the future. LOL
