BOINC thinks, that it is running only 3.3% of the time your computer is on. Why?
Maybe you set some odd preferences. Please post them here so we can have a look.

Also for that computer, check what the Duration Correction Factor is.

I got that message when my box was really busy- turned out BOINC got less than 10% CPU time because the CPU was running at max almost constantly anyway.
RE: i'm not understanding

Is this a notebook? Default setting I think is not to let BOINC do any work when it thinks the computer is running on batteries. Thes detection of the charge status isn't perfect on some notebooks, so this could be the problem.

RE: this is a desk top pc

I recently had something similar happen to one of my machines. All my BOINC and site preferences were fine, but for some reason, the BOINC client thought I was active only 1-2% of the time.
I apologize for not being able to give you the exact filenames and parms, but I'm not at a location to look at them presently. Perhaps someone else can give you the exact names... I run Windoze, so if you're on another system it doesn't necessarily apply (but probably will).
In one of the .XML files (I forget which one...) there is a parameter which tells BOINC the percentage of time BOINC is active. It is something like 'fraction active' or similar. This is where BOINC is getting the 3.3% of time active. You need to find that parameter and change it to something more realistic. You say you're on 24/7, so a value somewhere around 0.950000 should work. I forget the total number of digits in this parm, so make sure you don't add or delete digits for this value.
BEFORE making changes to any files, you should:
STOP BOINC (be ABSOLUTELY sure it's stopped!)
Backup the entire set of BOINC folders
Make your changes
Then restart BOINC

The file that you want to
)
The file that you want to look in is the “client_state.xml� file. It is in the BOINC folder in Program Files. Open it in notepad and near the top you should see something like this:
0.836757
0.644759
0.995159
0.984090
1173126731.278603
If you see this: 0.033386 then change the second 0 to a 9 to give 0.933386 and make sure that you save it back as a .xml file. Restart BOINC and see how you go. Dave
