BOINC version 7 has changed the way that the 'maintain work' setting in network preferences operate. For me, the result was BOINC flushed almost all of my project tasks and then downloaded one dozen tasks for one project. That left no computing time for other projects, and Rosetta wasn't the winner of that lottery. I still can't interpret the settings to give equitable time to several projects as in version 6. You may wish to put some pressure on BOINC to fix this since you will not see me for more than one week.

Reading round the various project forums it seems that BOINC 7 if giving problems all over the place, nothing consistent, for some crunchers it works without problem, for others it near kills any work unit it see`s.
And i will stay with 6.10.x until there is something in the new version worth the upgrade, whatever that version may be.

No problems here so far, though I only cruch Rosetta (and Moo, but that uses the GPU exclusively).

I like the simple view skin. Looks way better than previous versions.

If you zero your debts and flip the cache settings from their version 6 settings all will be okay again. The zeroing of the debts will happen gradually over time on its own or you can make it happen right away thru a cc_config.xml file setting. The cache settings are permanent and will NOT change unless YOU change them. If you go into the network usage tab and look at the cache settings you will two boxes, just like before. The difference is what they do...the first says "minimum work buffer", this is now a HARD number meaning your cache must get down to this size before it asks for more work!! The second box says "max additional work buffer" this is how much MORE work than the first box says. Essentially put a bigger number in the first box and you will keep more cached units on hand.

If you zero your debts and flip the cache settings from their version 6 settings all will be okay again.

"debts" is deprecated and isn't used in v7.

Instead REC = "Recent Estimated Credit" is used, and this should atleast in theory be better than the old debts-method was...

One effect of the changed scheduling is that fewer BOINC-projects will have work on client at any given time.

But as we all know version 7.0.25 is flawed and the newer version should have the fix in it, until then you must work around the problem.
