Other DC (boinc) projects [e.g., Amicable numbers] which potentially tie up all the CPUs on one's PC have a mechanism where the max number of CPUs that can be used by any task is set by the user... and this is a straight-forward option within the Project preferences without any monkeying around:
Preferences for this project	Amicable Numbers preferences
                         ^ You can set a limit on the number of CPU cores used

MW only sends out the original task then if it needs a wingman task it generates it
both WUs say
minimum quorum	        1
initial replication	2 

...not sure what's the difference between quorum and replication, but quite obviously a send task IS needed to complete validation.

I've not heard the term 'wingman' task, but the task to complete the validation for BOTH WUs had already been generated, but neither has been sent to be run ... both have status Unsent.

Two of my tasks are Completed, validation inconclusive:

yet Task 936324031 is still Unsent
and

Not running any more tasks for now.

At least one other project (i.e., Amicable numbers) which issues multi core WUs implements this feature.
My pc has 6 cores (12 threads). Milkyway currently will send nbody tasks for the full amount of CPUs enabled in boinc task manager.
I've searched both boinc help and the forums here. I've tried implementing the project (app) level config file examples I've found, but have had NO luck.
sorry, but as much as like this project, I am not willing to let it hog my desktop entirely.
I am very much looking forward to being able to run milkyway tasks again.
Thanks,
