BOINC settings trouble

I seem to be having trouble with my BOINC settings. I’ve set CPDN to 80% and LHC to 20% but that doesn’t seem to do much.
For example:

That shows that Climate prediction is stopped almost every hour or two hours for an hour of LHC…why? I mean when I had LHC at 99% yesterday, there was 1 hour of CPDN crunching in that day. Since *)/20 build there’s but almost as much LHC as CPDN!

I have a feeling that the percentage thingee setting is being overrridden by the setting on your General preferences “Switch between applications every…minutes”. I seem to be having the same problem. Perhaps we should set that to zero?

hum…I see your point BUT as I said, I managed to do a whole 24 hours nearly with only 1 hour of CPDN…

I could try that but in guessing that I reckon that the project “running” at that time would not change at all…
