I have read and understand the idea of time slicing that BOINC 4 introduces. I am running Seti and climateprediction on both Macs and a PC. However despite making changes to the default 100 resource sharing, it appears that Seti is taking 75% of the time(3hours Seti, 1 hour CP). I would like both projects to get my desired share of 50/50 but this is not happening. This is occuring on 3 Macs and a Win2000 PC.

Has anyone else noted this? Any suggestions? I've tried restarting the BOINC app but this appears to have no effect

Did the BOINC clients contact the servers since you changed the prefs? Otherwise, they'll still have the old prefs.

The Macs have contacted the Seti server to upload units, but not the ClimatePrediction server given the longer duration involved.

The Win2000 machine shows the correct split under projects tab after I issued the Update command, but is still not time slicing appropriately.

Strange behaviour but similar behaviour across different platforms
