An 8 years old bug is now finally addressed and fixed in #BOINC client. Now BOINC client can properly detect idle time and run the processes when the computer is idle (if user have configured it that way). More info:
Is the #BOINC #DistributedComputing project sadly gradually becoming obsolete or dying? #WCGrid nowadays seems to spend almost as much time down as up under its not-so-new caretakers, I very very rarely get any work from #ClimatePrediction, #RosettaAtHome also seems to have fairly frequent server errors, and most of the rest seem to be literal number-crunching that I don't want to expend electricity on. Have #GPU nodes mostly taken over for this sort of scientific research now?
