Some of my machines are now getting 3 and 5 WU to d/l.

You made a permanent change or is this an experiment?

The 2 WU limit actually is useful in getting YAFU to share cores with other projects as it avoids the dreaded 'not highest priority' work fetch error when BOINC sees WU's near their deadline and doesn't understand that app_config is limiting projects to 4 of 16 or maybe 4 of 48 cores.

This is a good change for people wanting to run 4x 4t on their 16 core thread ripper.

Just need to change the work preferences to limit to 2 WU if we want back the old limit, right?

It was an short experiment. I'm back to max 2 jobs in progress on a computer.

IMO the trouble with the 3 WU experiment was that deadlines weren't increased.

Oh, just saw that I left it at 3. But now it's back at 2 in progress.

The problem I had was that BOINC decided to work on two WU's for 2 days then suspend one of them and swap in a new WU on the 3rd day and run it for a couple days.

I told BOINC to swap WU's only every 9999 minutes but it either completely ignores that number and swaps sometimes or it's flawed calculations decide the new WU won't meet it's deadline and swaps it in for priority run.

Now that there is a steady supply of 32t, I'm going to set preferences for 32t to d/l only 1 WU so BOINC can't possible make a swap and I'm not getting the "not highest priority project" d/l failure on shared projects.

Run 32t is very very appreciated. It allows us to go to a higher level with aliquot sequences. The 32t runs composites up to C144.
