Hi Patrick! Fancy seeing you here. Usenet's a small world huh?

Why not just let it crunch at 100%? It's running at a relatively
low priority as is?

There's a couple reasons  I don't want it to run at 100%. Firstly,
I'm on a very limited income and my PC is one of the biggest
consumers of electricity in my house. That's why I stopped
crunching with my Barton, it was sucking the power (and throwing
out the heat) and my electricity bills dropped heaps when I stopped
crunching.

You can reduce power consumption by reducing the clock rate--then run
BOINC at 100% to eliminate the temperature cycle problem you're seeing.

Yoko Onos' former driver tried to extort $2M from her, threating to
"release embarassing recordings...". What, he has a copy of her album?
