I like to have Boinc displaying the list of work units all the time (yes I have 3 monitors there is room!), but it insists on changing to the message pane all the time! (All the time being about every 3 hours). Could it stay in the same place please? I notice half the time it just flashes the messages tab - it should do this all the time.

You only think that you want the work tab displayed all of the time. For some reason, this tab sucks a fair amount of CPU time. only 1 or 2% on fast machines, but up to 50% on some slow ones. Other than that, it would be nice not to switch views on people.

Nowhere near as much CPU time as the graphical display (which seems to be the dafault screensaver!!!)

Anyway this machine is a dual Athlon MP 2800+ with a terrabyte raid running on a 64bit 66MHz pci 3ware £250 raid card, and 2GB of ram :-P
