Just installed the latest Boinc on the latest OS X. Got two 80 year models downloaded.

All seems to be well, except Activity Monitor is reporting all the CPU usage as normal, not \'nice\' - does that mean the work is not being done at a low CPU priority? The Boinc load did appear to be \'nice\'d under Tiger 10.4.10 .

If you\'re talking about Leopard as being the latest OS X, then it\'s far too new to know how it\'s handling BOINC.
Could be lots of problems.

Yup, could be. We\'ll see, I\'m running two 80 year models on it.

It would probably be wise to back up the complete boinc folder regularly just in case.

I am running Leopard with BOINC 5.10.27. I have four 800 hour jobs loaded and running. In the past I found that long jobs would cause BOINC to hang forcing me to monitor it almost hourly so I can \'kill\' Boinc and restart it. With four jobs running it is just too much work. I will stop these jobs and go to other projects where this is not happening and check back later.

I\'m running Leopard, too, on a 4 processor system. The ClimatePrediction simulations are not running in Nice mode, and my system was too slow with 4 models running. I\'m backing off to two simulations until this is fixed (either by Apple or the ClimatePrediction programmers).

Re: the \"not nice\" in Leopard - it may be a \'red herring\'.
See this post on the BOINC/dev board from Charlie Fenton, who is their Mac programmer.

edit
Looking even more like a bug in Leopard.
