Hello,
I don't know what is happening with BOINC on my systems last 3 days, but now I all have running on an AMD, I have set CPU use to 75%, so I keep one core to use for myself, it is only running one WU at a time.
How is that possible?
Thanks

This settings feature rounds down to whole cores, so a duo at 75% of processors works as 50% [1 cores], not something like 1.5 tasks. On a quad 75% would work to 3 cores.

Just checked in the 7.0.12 client and see that there is no clarrifying hover pop up of something like "Effectively rounds down to whole processors!"

This issue has resolved by itself as last night 3 jobs (on a quad) ran flawlessly.
