How much time is f@h taking off the cpu to manage the gpu? Doubtlessly the agents are in competition for the same cpu cycles.

Think you got it the wrong way around, where 30/70th would be 43 percent more elapsed than cpu time, at best. Elapsed minus other processes consuming cpu time is what's left to boinc with runs at the 'nice'st priority level there is.

Yes you could set boinc to run 2 threads and f@h 1, but the 70 percent of one thread would then get lost completely instead of boinc trying to make the best of it.

Think of what the fpu outfit is on such a processor? 1 for each core or is a single fpu shared amongst 3? Another high competition element in concurrent grid computing. One reason why intel outperforms amd, so is told.

I wonder. I do have other stuff sucking power out of the system on use. But when leaving overnight, (~9h), all I have left is AMD Overdrive and MSI afterburner. I make sure to close everything else.

Right now, running UGM units. They hover around 10-30 each depending on FAH and a game I'm playing.
