Unfortunately, response times are affected.

I am really surprised to hear this. My own tests have shown that response time is affected in the microseconds range and thus not enough to really worry about. I work as an IT Admin at an Intermediate Care facility for the Mentally Ill and I have BOINC on their machines (with proper permission from the General Manager) without any lag.

In this industry I have learned to not let anything really surprise me.

The lag might have something to do with SQL or something else. The lag was expected when I originally installed the science app. and thus is not a big deal. It just gets to be a bit of a pain when people start complaining, I turn off the app. and then everything starts working ok again.

Anyways, to each their own...

Ah, SQL. I've heard of some intermittent lag problems when using BOINC on a machine that also uses SQL. I believe the SQL service also runs at a low priority causing a slight delay when the OS has to "decide" who to give the low priority CPU time to.

We don't run SQL so it's not an issue. Many companies do, so I suppose in the same vain I would limit BOINC too.

Hey OmegaDVD.. Does setting your CPU usage to 100% fix your problem too?

Just curious..

I have this same problem and problem resolved after I set the CPU usage to 100%. This CPU throttleing seems to impact SETI only as I have no problem with ClimatePrediction on the same machine.

I have the same problem. I have a Windows XP Home, 3.4Gh HT, Memory 2.5 Gb and disk space of 1 Tb. I am not on a server, I am a single user. I run only S@H. As suggested, I set the CPU to 100%. I have not used the threading utility. For me, I am not sure it really is necessary.

I do not need to repeat all the details said in this thread. I, too get message of "Restarting Task...". I have yet to complete one unit of work for S@H in quite some time. I would like to continue, but many days, weeks or whatever of procesing time have been wasted.

I need help. I request a reply from SETI. I may need to give up processing seti.

Thanks.

Hi,Could you please try what John McLeod VII suggested here:

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=42429&nowrap=true#657124

Let me know if you would like the file I created and used.

Please post a portion of the message file that is created so we may have a better idea of what is happening. Are you running any custom SETI apps? What version of Boinc are you running? Have you recently installed any new or updated your antivirus software?
