I have a program that I want to run on exactly 1 of my dual-core cpus. The problem is that the server for that program(non-BOINC program)gets frequently hung-up with some of the processing tasks necessary for the project. The processing can't be off-loaded and no new work units can be generated until it's finished.

If I give it a Priority setting that lets it dominate BOINC on that one processor is there a way to get BOINC to notice that one processor tends to advance tasks faster than the other? I have a fear that I'll end up getting a lot of overdue work-units because of BOINC not being able to handle it.

Note: There's no reason I absolutely have to restrict it to one processor. I probably should have written one "instance."
