BOINC always loads additional data, despite I set Additional work buffer to 0.00 days. Screenshot: http://i54.tinypic.com/euge4l.jpg
I only occasionally run BOINC on this PC, sometimes tasks expire, so I believe it would be nice if it have not wasted additional tasks.
I have this problem only on this box, my other two VM are not affected and only load tasks to compute right now. I wonder if this is connected to number of cores, since my box has 4 cores and other two 2 cores?

I also wonder if there's any option like "compute 10 tasks and stop"?

You're got 'Connect about every' set to 0.5 days, that's where the rest of your cache is coming from,
you're telling Boinc you're always going to be half a day away from an internet connection, so Boinc will keep that much work on hand,
