IMO "high priority" assignment broken, it prevents app development/testing for me.
Does some way exists (beside hacking source code) to disable "high priority" feature ?

Turn your computer clock/date back by a month.

Or - of course - do not load that many tasks on that machine you're testing development with.

As for your opinion that "high priority" is broken, there's only one option to prove that. Run with the latest BOINC client available, turn on <rr_simulation> plus <cpu_sched_debug> and post an extensive log.

Thanks! Will try.

Not an option it runs ALL active tasks in high priority mode while even not all cores loaded...

I did, no one looked at it.

Interesting experiment. Now date is 1 april, sheduler request shows backoff for few hundreds hours, manual update still doesn't return.
Astropulse now running in normal priority, but einstein running all its active 3 tasks in highpriority mode.
That is 3.02 cores in use, 5 tasks active only... BOINC just can't handle big difference in project shares.

EDIT: returned clocks at true time cause manual update to SETI server never returned. Is it bug?
