I would like to configure my BOINC preferences as follows:
Processor usage
On multiprocessors, use at most 2 processors
From 10pm to 5am, use at most 4 processors

What do you think about a processor usage that changes with time?

Although I currently have no use for this feature it sounds like a good idea to me. I also think use x processors when idle and y processors when the user is active would be a good feature.

In both cases I don't expect to see this anytime soon. I would expect a simple/advanced preference menu to be implemented first.

I agree. I was looking thru the posts to see if this had been requested already otherwise I was going to post a enhancement request.

As a refinement to this I would like to see the use N cpu's done locally on the host so that the user could carry on processing on some/'or one' cpu's while they run other programs on the other cpu(s).
