I've noticed that whenever I'm crunching Rosetta Mini WU's they always run in High Priority mode. Is there any way to get it to stop running like this? I've never not finished a WU and they always finish way ahead of time anyway.

(a current WU isn't due for 7 days but still running high priority with only about 2 hours of crunching remaining.)

It's not a big deal, but it doesn't give up CPU time to my other projects which have WU's due sooner.

Any help would be appreciated.

Firstly, just to be clear, BOINC tasks always run at a LOW priority on your machine as compared to the other work it is doing, it is just saying that it is chosing to run Rosetta before tasks from other projects for some reason.

Generally this is due to approaching deadlines as compared to the estimated time to completion. So if your completion estimate is poor, that could trick BOINC in to thinking there may be a deadline before it will be able to complete the task.

Once it gets through the work it thinks it is behind on, it will run normally, and repay the CPU time (debt) to your other projects as well.
