Yea, I can understand the frustration but maybe BOINC made a bit of a compromise. Just had another OET resend come in. Had an active task almost done so just sat there and wateched. When the active task finished, BOINC started an OET due on the 21st instead of the resend due on the 16th. BOINC's always been pretty good at fitting everything in but maybe instead of looking at just the deadline and going high priority on a new but earlier deadline task, it now considers the time/date received and would eventually start the resend once it was closing in on the deadline. Guess I'll have to leave BOINC alone for longer and see what happens.

It is called FIFO. Just picture Project A, WCG gives 10 days deadline, and project B, Aliennation, gives 2 days. Would it be agreeable B goes first, keeps sending work and still goes first? Think it through why it is FIFO as standard and EDF is only by exception.
