Link should work now

I'm not sure why you recommend <cpu_usage_limit>25.000000</cpu_usage_limit> ("CPU usage is limited to 25%")
The apps run at lowest priority so should not interfere with the 'normal' work.

If you still think you need to make less CPU load - better use for this <max_ncpus_pct>XX.000000</max_ncpus_pct>
BOINC CPU usage throttle is not fine-grained, the time-slice is 1 s (if 'they' did not changed this recently?)
- CPU usage 25% = "suspend/pause the app process for 3 s" + "resume/run the app process for 1 s"

<cpu_usage_limit> will make spikes in CPU load, <max_ncpus_pct> will just start less tasks and CPU load will be more smooth/constant.
