I'm using Vista. I have several other BOIC projects running succesfully. I currently have 25% of my system resources allocated to Einstein. Is this too little?

Your PCs CPU (Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 2.00GHz) should be fast enough.
But if you are using a notebook you may be urged to keep it running longer as expected...
BOINC works on a debt system to ensure that your resource shares are met (over the long term of course).
Long term debt governs work fetch. A positive LTD means that the project is owed processing time and a negative one means that it owes other projects times.
If you open up client_state.xml in your BOINC directory with a text editor (Notepad on Windows) and search for long_term_debt you'll be able to see it for your various project. Make sure to close it without saving it.
My guess is that with the long running results here, Einstein owes your other projects some CPU time. If you're happy with your resource share, just leave BOINC alone. It'll fetch work when the debt is payed back. If you want to devote more time to Einstein, increase its resource share on the web. Don't forget you need to update the project in the manager.
You can use this little web app to check your debts if you don't want to open the file locally.

Nice link Kathryn!!

I saw the author had posted it over at LHC so I bookmarked it. Unfortunately you can't download the stand alone app (BOINC DV) anymore. Luckily I snagged it while it was still up. With his stand alone one you can reset debts, although it looks like that is coming with the web based one.
