i would like to know if there are efforts to ensure that BOINC and all projects running on BOINC are apartheid-free, i.e., not benefiting complicit institutions in Israel. thank you.

by long run time i mean:

Run time 19 hours 40 min 22 sec
CPU time 2 hours 59 min 49 sec

this is unusual as someone else running R@H said theirs is more like:
Run time 3 hours 3 min 58 sec
CPU time 3 hours 0 min 6 sec

as for computing preferences, mine is:
Usage limits
Use at most 100 % of the CPUs
Use at most 100 % of CPU time

When to suspend
Suspend when computer is on battery leave blank
Suspend when computer is in use leave blank
Suspend GPU computing when computer is in use leave blank
'In use' means mouse/keyboard input in last 3 minutes
Suspend when no mouse/keyboard input in last --- minutes
Suspend when non-BOINC CPU usage is above --- %
Compute only between ---

Other
Store at least 0.1 days of work
Store up to an additional 0.01 days of work
Switch between tasks every 60 minutes
Request tasks to checkpoint at most every 60 seconds

Disk
Use no more than 20 GB
Leave at least 2 GB free
Use no more than 60 % of total

Memory
When computer is in use, use at most 95 %
When computer is not in use, use at most 95 %

i don't know how to check how many threads i'm using or how to set that as a preferred mode. i also don't know what else anyone might need to know to help...

i'm seeing very long run time for my tasks on BOINC and i've been told that it's because something is eating up a lot of my CPU time, but i'm looking at my task manager and i don't see any other apps taking up CPU time other than the tasks. i wonder if there's anything else i can tweak or check. thanks!

BOINC version: 7.24.1 (x64)
OS: Windows 10
Projects: WCG, E@H, R@H
