One of the computers is a server with two 2.8 Xeon processors. I see that it is running on both processors, but total CPU usage is only 50%. On all my other machines it uses nearly 100% (high 90's). Any thoughts? Changing it's "priority" from low to normal doesn't seem to change anything. Is there a reason it would not use all cpu cycles available? I also notice that the web site seems to think my server has 4 processors, when it really only has 2. Could that be part of the problem? <br><br><img src='http://www.boincsynergy.com/images/stats/1185sah.png'> <br> Thanks to Tim (Captain Avatar) for my groovy Red Foxx avatar! ID: 92701 ·
