I just had a couple of high priority tasks preempt the tasks my computer was working on. This is the 1st time it's happened to me and was wondering what it was about. |

BOINC will try to get all work in before the deadline. High priority tasks are just normal tasks, but with BOINC in a sort of panic mode, in which it will try to get those tasks as well as all the others in cache in, before their various deadlines. |

Thanks for the info. I was kind of hoping it might have been something closer to ET. Oh well, all is good. |
