There are currently 9 projects running (If you include beta and if I can count right). Even if you only wanted to crunch for badges that's 18 years of work, if you want to 'precrunch' in case they make new badges that could be 45 to 90 years of time (I'm just guessing # of years, I dont KNOW anything or care 2 years is enuf for me). OR people can just crunch til a project ends... waiting for Dengue shouldn't be frustrating, it should be FUN. 'Did I get any today, what type are they, are they due before the other units in my list, maybe I could move em up so they would get returned faster'. It's not impossible to get some Dengue, it can't be requiring a lot of smarts because I can do it and have spent the time reading etc.
Here's what I do...
Set cash at .1 or .2 days normally to include Dengue and project(s) of choice. When I see the Dengues are flowing (yes this requires checking forums and/or your boinc manager to see what tasks are in que) change your profile to just dengue turn up your que to a whopping .5 (this is to keep your machine reliable and not be a hog) I went 1.5 once and that was way too many. When you've gotten some Dengue switch back to multiple projects selected or if you want to risk running dry stick with Dengue until the 'rain' is over. Before someone complains that this is too much work/they dont have time etc., then set your profile and forget it. Remember people, the Grid isn't 20 year old established routine science. Having 9 choices is a luxury of choice. They could be boring and run one project til it's done, then the next... ho hum. It's EXCITING when you see there are some Dengue floating around.

Edit: I quit calling some people whiners

The daily quota is per box, computed as follows: 80 times the number of threads (i.e. number of concurrent BOINC tasks).
For an old single core: 80
For a Duo or a P4 HT: 160
For a quad: 320
For a 4-core i7 with HT ON: 640
For an hexacore: 960
For Movieman's "monster": 1920

This means that for my system with 96 threads I would be allowed a total of 7'680 WU's per day.
If I look at my daily scores the highest number of WU recorded in a day was recently 1020, probably with the appearance of shorter HCC and very short DDDT2. Otherwise by crunching mixes of projects I stand around 400-500 a day. So there is a good margin. Nevertheless if we go in the direction of very short CPU runtime WU's (under 18 minutes) then we may have to increase this maximum. I would not consider fair to oblige members to crunch multiple projects. If they want to crunch only one regardless the power of their CPU they must be able to do it without hindrance.

When I read thing like this I feel really depressed. First, remember all this is a volunteer thing, no one obliges you to crunch in one or x projects. Do what you want, but does not make pointless demands to the project. What you are actually saying, more at the stage where DDT2 is now, is that you want almost in exclusivity all the units that the project is issuing. Don't you realise the arrogance of that statement?.

Think I mentioned it a few days ago... sized to power is a future feature. WCG would love to shape work units so it runs more or less even for all so powerful and not so powerful can run tasks such that they finish in fairly even times.

There's the RIP option requested for HCMD2 though, run all positions regardless the toughness [more or less]. It's on the contemplation list per Uplinger.
