I'm using Boinc Manager 6.6.28 under Boionc view there's a task time difference of about 6 minutes between the time Elapsed & time shown when you open the graphic. Elapsed time shows 5 hours & the graphic window shows 4 hours 54 minutes. Has anyone else noticed this? I don't have access to a server to post any images at present I'll see if I can sort something.
Have a crunching good day!!

The new 6.6 BOINC Manager shows elapsed time, not the actual CPU time use the way 6.4 did. So the difference indicates that the task is not getting a full 100% of CPU, which is normal. Likely due to other work being done on the machine. Since BOINC tasks run at low priority, other work is ahead in line if it needs CPU.
