However, there are projects that have deadlines that short.

If user wouldn't participate in his favorite game tournament exactly in that 
weekend leaving BOINC stopped or in "exclusive application run" mode.
One should not forget, BOINC is not the main app on "average participant"'s 
host ;) day or two deadline for BOINC architecture is "too short", by 
definition of "piggyback" computations.

Still, a day or two should be workable for always connected machines.

That may be the goal. The client machines may have other plans.

BOINC should be able to handle half to two day deadlines with no real problems. 
Dr. Anderson's goal at one point was to have the ability to respond to 
deadlines well under an hour.

In anycase, the deadlines being discussed are 2 day, not 1/2 day.

If a project really needs half day deadlines, the BOINC architecture may not be 
the right choice. If it doesn't really need half day deadlines, it shouldn't 
have half day deadlines.

Not that the client scheduler isn't broken in a number of ways.

Just observe. I'm currently running two SIMAP tasks which were issued with a 
two-day deadline (additional replications required for validation - they must 
be using

<reliable_reduced_delay_bound>X</reliable_reduced_delay_bound>
When a need-reliable result is sent to a reliable host, multiply the delay 
bound by reliable_reduced_delay_bound (typically 0.5 or so).

Set a two day queue, and BOINC panics.

Don't judge every BOINC operation by the relaxed timings used at SETI.
