	I am running SETI@Home & World Grid on the same rig. I adjusted resource share between the above two projects to Seti=75% and World Grid=25%. This does not appear to work, because no matter what resource share percentage I set, World Grid tasks ALWAYS took precedence over Seti tasks (both CPU & GPU). The result was my CPU and GPU running ONLY World Grid Tasks with SETI tasks remaining perma idle on the background. I originally had wanted my CPU and GPU to run one World Grid WU for every three SETI WU's run, so I figured the way to that would be to adjust the resource share option to SETI 75% and World Grid 25% but this didn't seem to work. Anybody knows how I will be able to run one World Grid task for every three SETI tasks run? THanks in advance. ____________

	The share is a long term average, not an instantaneous one. Prime Grid has quite short deadlines, so initially it will "hog" the processing, but eventually SETI@Home will reach the desired average figure. ____________ Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe?

BOINC will eventually stop requesting work for PG unless SETI has no work. ____________ BOINC WIKI

	I've had Cosmology, Einstien, and Seti for quite some time and "eventually" never happened. Cosmology hogged it all 24/7/365. I have since removed Cosmology. Since a "user" is giving time on his/her computer as a volunteer he/she should have more options to control its use like changing a projects time to what we want to. ____________
