Topic 189197

I'm running boinc, four projects, on Pentium IV 2.600, 512 MB Ram. Pc spends over 24 hours per work unit; usually the deadline is passed. Is no way to reduce the weigh of WU? I`m affraid, in this situation, probably I will compel to suspend project

Thanks and sorry for my english

Normal WU time for that kind of computer is about 9 hrs running XP if only one project is active; there is no way of reducing the WU size at the moment; so if you want to speed up with one of the projects you indeed have to make a choice about the projets to run.
