With normal everyday computer usage, BONIC runs just fine at 100%. However throughout the day I am often using apps that don't play nice with BOINC at 100%. When I use the Exclusive Applications tab in the preferences, starting those apps completely stop BOINC. And when I am idleing in the app, BOINC is not working, CPU and GPU.

After some tests I realize that I can set CPU to something like 60% cpus, 100% time and run my apps just fine. And the GPU contuinues to function at full speed. Unfortunately, it is becoming tedious to always go to BOINC Manager to switch the processor %.

Is there a way to set in the preferences (BOINC manager, or internal xml files) a semi-exclusive app, that will change the %CPU and %time, but not stop BOINC entirely, and that BOINC goes back to the defaults when the app is no longer running (like exclusive apps)?

Is it reasonable to ask that this be added as a feature in future updates to BOINC?
