Hi,

I'd like to split this settings, which currently applies globally.

The idea would be that I could tell Boinc to assign x% of CPU time while computer is in use, and a different Y% when computer is idle.

I have a computer with 4 COREs, so I'd like to assign 1 core (25%) when I'm using the PC, but 3 (75%) when not in use.

An even better option would be to have a check saying "use full CPUs when idle", and have only "usage limit" for "in use" case.

Something along that line, would be a very good thing to have.

At least, I'd use it :)

Thanks

You're not the first person asking that, the request is all over all of the various Wish List threads, including the latest incarnation and already since 2011 in the BOINC FAQs.

It's been requested since 2007 and is widely available in the feature requests over in the BOINC Issues list.

At least it isn't a function of BOINC Manager (which is the graphical user interface).
