My BOINC client is attached to both Climate Prediction and the SETI project. Much of the time it somehow decides that CP needs to run at "high priority" and the SETI unit sits at "waiting to run" even though they each are allocated 50% of the resources. The only thing I can see that might cause this is that the CP modules take significantly longer to finish (about 40 times as long, judging by the currently loaded modules) and perhaps it thinks it needs to give them priority, even though the due dates are a year off for the CP units.

Does anyone have an idea on this?

That's normal.
Just relax and let BOINC work things out. Eventually it will "learn" that there's not a problem, and start alternating between projects.
Start manually changing things though, and it's back to the start of the learning for BOINC.

OK, thanks. I'll just keep an eye on it. Can you give me an idea as to how long it should be before BOINC adjusts itself.

That depends on the speed of your computer, how much YOU use it, how long it's left on each day, how long the SETI units take, etc.
Give it a week or two.

PS
The latest type of climate model has it's deadline set for 3 months, as they only take about a week on a fast computer running 24/7 without other projects.

Or 3 days even in combination with other projects. :P
