Hi,

How hard would it be to reprogram BOINC to use at most x processors when user is active? This would be in addition to "Use at most x processors" setting now. This new setting would replace "do work when user idle" setting; just set CPUs to zero for no work when user is active.

Nice idea! Use x processors while user is idle, y processors while user is active.

(In adition to the proposed negative numbers for "use all but x processors".)
