I was happy with that. Then I added Rosetta@home and Einstein@home. Now my computer only uses 50% CPU power and only calculates 1 task at the time. The other waiting tasks are marked as 'preempted'. Why is that? And how can I change it? ID: 18860 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

While you're there, make sure that you have 'keep applications in memory when preempted' set to yes. (Both of these are from memory so I may not have it exactly right).
