Had SIMAP marked as 'no new work'. When I allowed new work for SIMAP, the Linux 5.9.4 client issued a series of work requests. (Each request resulted in one or more SIMAP workunits being scheduled for download to my system.) If the early-on requests made by the client had been bigger, it should not have needed to issue this many sequential requests for work:
Tue May 1 08:31:59 2007|boincsimap|Requesting 54142 seconds of new work
Tue May 1 08:32:15 2007|boincsimap|Requesting 37785 seconds of new work
Tue May 1 08:32:30 2007|boincsimap|Requesting 15682 seconds of new work
Tue May 1 08:32:46 2007|boincsimap|Requesting 5715 seconds of new work
