The installer will not install the service as the local system due to security issues. We will be stuck with changing that around forever most likely.

Rom is expecting to tackle the reinstall vs. update issue in the next round of testing. So hopefully we will see this in the 5.4.x versions whenever they come out.

Talking of hijacking the thread (matrix of optimal project combinations on multi-cpu machines).

I recently had 2 CPDN wu's running on my HT machine. 1 sulphur, 1 standard. On completion of the standard wu the sec/Ts dropped on the sulphur unit from 4.2298 to 4.2033. Not a lot I know, but it is better than it increasing like it normally does and it is about 1% better than were it would have been at that timestep based on previous sec/Ts increases. The other cpu was running a combination of seti and rosetta. I was lucky enough/unlucky enough to be able to keep the sulphur unit always running due to it having a problem with it's deadline, so BOINC is in EDF mode due to the sulphur wu. I might do some trials while BOINC is in EDF mode and always running CPDN on 1 cpu with the NNW setting for seti and rosetta and see if there is any other changes.

Live long and crunch.
