Two of the projects currently have no work. Does this mean the project with work is receiving 100% of resources? Or is it still only receiving 33% of resources? ID: 25854 ·

A to have preference, meaning if Proj. A has work, no work will be done on Proj. B or C. However, if Proj. A has no work, Proj. B and C will be allowed to run. Possible? ID: 25856 ·

If your computer has 1 processor, and you have one WU being crunched, then it's 100%. 4 processors, and only 1 WU, then it's 25%. You can also look at the Performance graphs in Windows Task Manager to see how much is being used. ID: 25874 ·
