2) Message boards : Questions : Is Computing settings wording correct? (Message 17) Posted 22 May 2018 by zoemax Post: Question: Is the wording https://scienceunited.org/su_compute_prefs.php for 'low power' correct? Use 25% of processors, and stop computing when computer is idle. Does this mean that tasks are only done when the users computer (CPU) is not idle?[/b] My testing is showing tasks stopped, & using max CPU's Tue 22 May 13:23:13 2018 \| \| General prefs: from https://scienceunited.org/ (last modified ---) Tue 22 May 13:23:13 2018 \| \| Number of usable CPUs has changed from 1 to 8.
