Hello,

On the development side of BOINC, some of us are looking at making some changes to the settings. There are two parts to this that would change:

1. We are looking at adding settings for the amount of CPU cores used and percentage of CPU time that would be used in two cases: When the computer is in use and when it is not in use. 'In use' being the same definition as it is in the settings. Additionally, the setting for what percentage of non-BOINC CPU usage will now be able to have a different setting between in use and not in use as well.

2. The arrangement of the settings will be different. The rest of the settings will be still available, but in a different heading and location. For example, the settings above would be under a "when computer is in use" and "when computer is not in use" header. Other settings such as percentage of memory will be added under each of those headers, instead of under a disk and memory header.

Of course, a picture tells the story a bit clearer. Here are some screen captures of what it will look like:




Any kind feedback from the community, both positive and negative, would be appreciated. Thank you!

Bill
