question: why would I see BoincTasks showing 94% (typical) for each wu when top shows 15*100% and the other 98% in use by wu's

I have watched without boinc running and seen maybe 8-10% of a thread used by other processes.

also, in an ideal world, I would expect to see (again with top) "user" at a v. high percentage and "nice" very low %. I actually see the opposite. Can we alter the cpu priorities within boinc to "normal" and maybe let "nice" do all that work because just now there seems to be a clash between the two systems.
