Quite a few people use BOINC to run multiple projects. Most that I know use either hyperthreading processors, multiple processors or both. Is it possible to add a feature to the manager to assign a project to a certain CPU, either through a drop down menu or the .ini file.

This was discussed recently in this thread on the Number Crunching board. There's some info there on why it's not part of the program, at least for now.
