I have CP.NET configured to use 38.68% of the resource share on my computer. I also have 6 other projects each of which are set to 10-12%. I leave my computer \"on\" 24/7 and BOINC is set to \"run always\". I have BOINC configured to \"switch every 120 minutes\".

PROBLEM:
-------
CP.NET hasn\'t run on my computer in the past 4 days.

PROBABLE REASON ?
---------------
The new BOINC manager does *not* cycle through my projects and allocate time precisely and FAIRLY based on my settings. It factors in the DUE DATE of individual work units and give it\'s OWN priority to work untis that are closer to their due dates.

My CP.NET due date is one year in the future. PRIME GRID due dates are typically a few *days* in the future. The other projects tend to more reasonable and are a few weeks in the future.

But regardless, I don\'t care about the project\'s due date. When I say give CP.NET 38.68% of my computer I expect it to be running 38.68% of the time.

I feel that the other projects can, and are, hijacking extra resource share by assigning short due dates.

IMO, the BOINC manager is too smart for it\'s good. It should offer the option of ignoring due dates. If a project wants to ignore my results because I\'m a day late, then so be it. I\'ll simply drop the project.
