After a system restore I'm reattaching to projects. My 3 are WCG, MW@home and Einstein@Home. Just today finished reattaching to Einstein. Now my system chunks up a bit when playing games as if things aren't quite getting out of the way well enough.

So I wanted to go over with the community what these BOINC settings mean and to get a better understanding of how they affect me.

On preferences I have:

Allow computing while:

Computer is at work YES

While GPU is at work YES.

Now these are getting out of the way after whatever I put in, say I started using 50% of the system?

Also have told it not to leave suspended tasks in memory.

I have unattached from the Einstein@Home project and my system chunkiness has stopped. I'll repost this on the Einstein@Home forum.
