Is there a way to keep it from benchmarking? (I doubt it) It annoys me when it runs and I loose the work that's been done.
Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?
If it makes sense, DON'T do it.

Why don't you ask Boinc questions on the Boinc forum?

No.

Which is sad when you consider that virtually no projects are using the benchmarking system for credit calculations any longer...

Yes, it seems to revert back to the last checkpoint that the wu has done. I'm almost postive I saw it do that to MW before(it's harder to catch with 80 min wu), I know it does it to rosetta. While minor it's still annoying.

May be a dumb question but....Won't keeping the task in memory while suspended fix the problem?

I'll try that.

At one point that was necessary or MW would error if a task was suspended. I've not had a need to use that since and forgot about it. I don't game much on my pc anymore.
