is this pausing and restarting normal?

Hi Mike
Are you crunching for other projects as well?
And if so what are your resource share settings for the
projects?

Hi Anders, Thanks for your

Hi Anders,
Thanks for your rapid response
I'm helping to crunch 4 projects - BBC Climate Change, Rosetta , Malaria and Einstein. All have 25% resource allocations.

Then it seems to work just fine.
You could try out setting "leave in memory" to yes as you loose some
cruching every time a WU is preempted.

BOINC switches between
)
BOINC switches between projects at the period set in 'your account' general preferences, the default is 60 mins.
It switches to enable all projects to get a fair share, as you can see not all projects have equal length units and even in Eistein there are long and short units. If it did not switch and you started the Climate change unit, probably several 100's of hours, the other project units would miss their deadlines.
BOINC will also check when you download a new unit, and possibly switch units, this is so that any very short units with tight margins are crunched asap.
What project is crunched and which project next gets a download is based on a system of debts. Short term (STD) to determine which is crunched and long term (LTD) for the downloads. In each case the highest positive value is used, unless a unit will miss its deadline if not crunched soon, this known as Earliest Deadline first (EDF), in which case it will run up a high STD and allow the other projects to catch up their fair share.
You can get more information from the Unofficial Wiki

Thanks for the info. My

Thanks for the info. My general preferences have now been changed to keeping applications in memory and I'm getting a better understanding of how things work.
