I am running two projects via the Linux BOINC client: Setiathome 200 (66.67%) and CPDN 100 (33.33%).

I have begun logging the output to a text file to look at the times the project swap over.

On some of my systems, SETI is getting 2 hours, then CPDN 1 hour - sequentially.

On a couple of my systems, SETI is geting 4-5 hours, and CPDN just 1 hour - again sequentially.

I've done "-update_prefs" on the systems that aren't adhering to the 2:1 ratio....but it makes no difference.

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

I am not using Linux but I have noticed this in windows.
I am monitoring my time splicing.
I also have it set 100/200.
What I think is happening on my system is that the timer resets itself when you shutdown the gui or a new work unit starts/finished.
I'll be getting 1 hour/2 hours for a while then it seems to jump.
I am still trying to track it down.

Aside from the 6 Linux systems, I also have one sustem on Win98SE with the 4.06 alpha BOINC client....and it doesn't timeslice at all.

Theory: I installed 4.06 two days ago....possibly when the CPDN workunits available were incorrect (as notified on that site) and it failed.

I have re-set the CPDN project (again) today......and hope to see some time slicing later......maybe.
