I think you nailed it - thanks. Doesn't sound like I can do much about it then. It's just one of 3 machines I am running, the other 2 being Macs and super fast.

I have a video card but Boinc doesn't see it. All it sees is:

GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU M 350 @ 2.27GHz [Family 6 Model 37 Stepping 2]
(4 processors) --- Linux 4.8.0-54-generic

Note this is an ASUS lappy from 2009 that I recently updated to run on Ubuntu.

Any tips to make it know to Boinc?

The problem machine is the Win 7 machine - it runs 1/3 the speed of the Win 10 even though it has a faster CPU and more processors.

Yes, I set it to never sleep - the problem only happens if I switch away to another computer.

I have BOINC manager running on a Win7 and Win10 machine. The Win10 machine has a slightly slower CPU and less processors. I expected it to perform more slowly than the Win7 machine.

Does anyone know why that is, or failing that, have tips I might try to increase efficiency?

Hmm, I'm not sure how that would work with a Macbook Air (laptop). I need to be able to switch to it and have it hooked to the KVM switch or it doesn't show on the big monitor.

I could leave the laptop open but I need the space under the shelf and like to keep it closed when it's tethered to the local desktop workspace.

I can't seem to find much on google where this issue is addressed. I wonder am I searching the wrong terms (system suspending, kvm, macbook)

I use a KVM to switch between PC's and my Macs. When I switch away from the Mac, the system suspends as though it is asleep and it doesn't do any work. I have it set to never sleep when plugged in but that doesn't seem to prevent it when you switch off the focus via KVM to use a different machine.

Does anyone know a tweak to get around that issue? Maybe I don't have it configured correctly or there's a setting I don't know about.
