#706 closed Defect (fixed)

Mac OS X: If CPU usage set <100%, screen saver rapidly bounces between "suspended" and active

Description

On Mac OS X, if you have your preference set to use less than 100% of the CPU, the screen saver is constantly bouncing between "BOINC is suspended" and showing one of your projects' screensavers. This is new behavior in BOINC 6. With BOINC 5, the screen saver would just pause when BOINC suspended to reduce CPU load. That made the screen saver animation a little jerky, but that was OK.

The new behavior makes the screen saver pretty much non-functional if you have your CPU load set less than 100%
