i look at 'tasks' where there is a moving progress indicator. so it is at that section when i minimize again.
----------------------------------------assuming the indicator takes cpu cycles for display, does it take cycles when boinc is minimized? is it better to leave it at 'transfers' section? [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Mar 24, 2008 12:20:40 AM] |

The best is to re-install as a service/daemon and not load the BOINCMgr at all. Start it when you need it and exit it whilst the core client continues whether logged in or not.

The difference is tiny.
When BOINC is minimised, the only RPC traffic is the progress updates. Since that forms the majority of the RPC communication anyway, minimising BOINC doesn't make much difference. If you care about the impact of BOINC Manager (you shouldn't, it is negligible) then you can install BOINC as a service and not use BOINC Manager at all. Open Task Manager, and check the CPU time column for BOINC Manager. It should be a very low number. |

interesting. Forget the "Scribe method". With service install you can simply exit the BOINCmgr thru the menu and it will unload whilst it leaves the BOINC.exe and the sciences running.so if i want, i can close the task called boincmgr.exe in 'task manager' and it will be better?
