Yes, you are right -- the total number of running and waiting tasks decreased, but still exceeds the number of CPU in the system.

Thanks.

I just noticed that the BOINC manager did not have the "leave applications in memory while suspended" option enabled. Let's see what happens if I enable it.

On computers running multiple projects, sometimes a project may have several tasks in "waiting to run" state, yet the scheduler starts new tasks of that projects instead of resuming old tasks waiting for their turn.

Is this a bug?
4) Message boards : BOINC client : How To Start Task of Earliest Deadline First? (Message 17746)

Post:
Sometimes the client may receive tasks having report deadline much earlier than tasks received earlier.

If the client is configured with a large work buffer, this could cause these tasks expire before they are worked on.

Can the client be configured to select the next task based on the deadline?
