By the latest version you mean 5.8.1..?
In that case, could you switch back to 5.7.5... Einstein should run OK on this version.

Could you post some specs... like CPU type, memory.. etc..

What BOINC prefs did you use while running 5.8.1?
Default is:
Use at most 50% of memory when computer is in use
Use at most 50% of memory when computer is idle
Did you alter any of this options?

What BOINC version were you using prior to the 5.8.1 and 5.4.11 earlier mentioned?

Default is:
Use at most 50% of memory when computer is in use
Use at most 50% of memory when computer is idle

Actually the default is 50% when in use and 90% when idle.
But Einstein doesn't use those preferences yet.

Boinc shouldn't use any CPU. It is only a managing program, it doesn't crunch.

You're correct... my bad.
That's what happens when you have one eye on the television (darts) and the other one on the computer monitor....

Nope the einstein app does and BOINC shouldn't hit 100%, but if I'm correct it looks like ginie has installed BOINC on a dedicated server.
Can that be done...?
Isn't he sharing this server(and CPU) with others (running webpages and so on...)?
