Instead of just running when your computer is completely idle (in standby), what if it also ran while you were using it but not doing anything? For example, you could set it so that after 5 seconds of inactivity, it automatically kicks in. Also, there could be a button to easily turn it off just in case for some reason it's bothering what your doing. And when you move your mouse again after you've been idle for more than 5 seconds, Rosetta saves its progress and waits for you to be idle again. Imagine how much more crunching time we could get!

Hmm, well you can set it to run always, like mine is set to. I think this is what a lot of people do.

You can also right click on the BOINC icon and select "Snooze" to pause project work and communications for an hour or until canceled.

Mine runs all the time no matter what I'm doing. It defers to other programs, but it never really stops.
