My G5 dual 2GHZ is running literally 90-95% nice. Can't get much done that way. Is there a parameter that will allow changing this?

Thanks.

Why do you want to change this? BOINC is running "nice 19", so you don't get a slowdown for other programs. It will take all free CPU time though. AFAIK there is no parameter for setting the nice level.
