Brian:
Thanks for the suggestion.
We're considering something along these lines:

This is a large change and it may not happen for a while.

I would like to suggest a configuration option for "Computing Preferences /
Processor Usage". It would be nice to have it as a left navigation on the
"Projects" tab similar to the "Commands" leftnavigation buttons.
Add 3 Processor Usage preference buttons which would allow the user to quickly
switch how CPU/GPU resources are allocated to BoInc. (Note: not on batteries)
* Button 1: BoInc Maximum Donation - High CPU and GPU on all processors at
all times
* Button 2: BoInc Balanced Donation - Medium CPU and GPU on all processors
when
Idle for more than 5 minutes, medium CPU and GPU when active less than 25%
* Button 3: BoInc Low Donation - Low CPU and GPU on all processors only when
idle
for more than 5 minutes
* Button 4: User Defined - Use the setting that are in the Processor Usage
configuration
I find that there are times when I am able to give more to the project and other
times when I need my computer to respond better to my activity. If I had an
easier
way to switch between usage levels, I would be able to donate more time to the
project as a whole. This might also make it easier for the less computer savvy
user
to change configuration without knowing a lot about computers and processors.
Thank you for your consideration.
