1) Message boards : Web interfaces : Percent of CPU Time (While Idle / While In Use) (Message 11731)

Post:
I've been letting Boinc run while my computer is in use between the hours of (no restriction) using at most 100% CPU time on a 4 processor Mac.

I just started noticing a slow down (I think related to FF 2.0.0.4).

Anywhoo, I'd like to have the option to set:
Use at most x percent of CPU time WHILE IN USE
as well as
Use at most x percent of CPU time WHILE IDLE
instead of just
Use at most x percent of CPU
which probably sets both the above the same.

Is this currently possible? If so how? If not, can we get that feature in a future release?

As of now, I'm backing down 2 processors/projects to 95%.

In fact, that's another thing. Each project says "General preferences; specify when and how BOINC uses your computer" as well as "_SpecificProject_ preferences". Well, instead of all projects getting the 95% when set from the "General preferences", it only applied to the project from which I set this general preference. All projects performed an update (at least twice each), but it did not propagate. (This feature/bug actually is pretty cool because I can have 2 other projects at 100%).

But anyway, I'd like to let it run at 100% while idle and perhaps 95% (on selected projects) while my computer is in use.

Boinc 5.10.7 for Mac OS X on quad core Mac Intel Xeon.
