I have noticed that sometimes but not always, doing a manual "update project" causes the currently running project to suspend and another to resume. Has anyone else noticed this? Is it a bug, is it my comp, is it me? Can't see anything related on other project forums or BOINC sites. The following were deliberately created just by updating each project in turn.

Running 4.32 on XP with SP2, set to switch projects every 60 minutes.

It's not the speed but the quality. Until I get a faster computer.

I have also noticed this problem with version 4.25 on XP with SP2. It is not happening with version 4.19 on Windows ME, which is possibly the only good thing about the latter OS.

It's a feature not a bug. The CPU scheduler refigures what it should be working on at the time interval set in preferences, at workunit finish, and at successful scheduler RPCs.

And when all files for a new wu has been downloaded.
Also every time you suspend/resume.
