My internet connection is as of recently experiencing heavy timeout failing. This is specifically in regard to running facebook/fishville (java based programs) and WCG at the same time. This also happens when using facebook chat and trying to navigate pages.

I know these programs use more of my available ram.

I have WCG set to be nice and share the space (within reason) but here is the bottom line.

I can't use those games without falling out of sync with the servers. I do not like java based websites to begin with but they are a fact of life. I just want to point out that there is a compatibility problem. (And note the perceivable slowdown from WCG programs is often a huge deterrent to potential WCG users.)

Is this something that can even be fixed? Facebook should not fail to work while running wcg. I am willing to believe it is facebooks fault. But is there any way to check the efficiency of the boinc clients response (in giving back memory) Would a small dedicated freespace buffer reduce this incompatibility? (in other words i dont want to NOTICE the chops)

Running wcg on an ubuntu machine makes using the operating system virtually impossible unless you turn off WCG completely.

I run a dual core 2.6 4gb ram computer as my primary.

I am building the belief that the program runs too efficiently and is greatly affecting my operational use.
