i can't help but notice that on my pi4 i'm receiving multiple wu with names
r4k_nnnn_*
jgHE_a05*
jgHE_b02*
Junior_HalfRoid*
these seem to keep repeating during the day, i've setup pretty much not to cache jobs, but i nevertheless receive similar naming work units 6-8 hours apart after the results are uploaded

while on robetta a search with the above patterns /words draw a blank
https://robetta.bakerlab.org/queue.php
there are apparently many other targets some with lengths less than a hundred units but i'm not seeing them run on pi4

note that this is just a one day sample so i may be wrong

could there be any particular issues e.g. not enough ram on Pi4 etc?
i've setup memory allowance to be 80% for boinc-client on my Pi4,
(edit increased that to both 90% for in use and not in use to avoid jobs being skipped,
that gives max memory usage when active/idle 3426.92 MB)
i've also set in cc_config
<ncpus>3</ncpus>
to reduce memory contention, so that at any one time at most 3 tasks run, i've had 'waiting for memory' incidences more often if i allow 4 concurrent tasks to run

if memory is the stumbling block i may try ncpus = 2 or even 1

Almost all the WUs my computer is currently crunching start with the names you listed, so nothing wrong with your pi4, and actually it's unrelated to the fact that you are using a pi4, since I have them on an AMD CPU.

Not all tasks run on R@h come from the robetta queue, so the fact that they are not found there is not out of the ordinary at all.
