It's rare nowadays that project spend some time to implement screensavers, it's a resurgence of the time when boinc was mainly ran in screensaver mode and volunteers would fear about "permanent execution". You can run most boinc projects without fear continuously regardless of your activity, the tasks executed are always launched using the OS low priority setup and will normally release instantly if any other process requires the same CPU amount at any time. Maybe some GPU tasks of some projects, depending on your configuration / GPU, will make that your machine lag a lot. This is also why you have a dedicated "suspend calculation when computer is used" setup for both CPU and GPU in boinc parameters. |

I know screensaver it's "old school", but may help to attract new volunteers... Maybe some GPU tasks of some projects, depending on your configuration / GPU, will make that your machine lag a lot. There is a post about the use of gpu on Denis, but it's old. I don't know if they are working on |
