RE: So, if you're running

So, if you're running a dedicated BOINC machine, the simplest and best method to get BOINC running at full CPU speed is simply to set its priority to 0 (right in the middle, where normal applications are) and you will observe that the CPU gets clocked up.

I don't think this is an option. The boinc core client itself is running at normal prio all the time, it's teh science app that gets started by the core client that runs with maximum niceness. You don't want to execute a renice command everytime a new instance of the science app is started / restarted.

I think there is a way to set up the cpu switching daemon to change the profile if a program from a configurable list is detected to run.

e.g. this is an example from the cpufreqd.conf man page:

# full power when watching DVDs and not AC
[Rule]
name=dvd_watching
ac=off                   # (on/off)
battery_interval=0-100
cpu_interval=0-100
programs=xine,mplayer
profile=hi_boost

Your profile name will vary, see /etc/cpufreqd.conf

Maybe this could solve the problem?
