Well, in my experience and those of others, having LAIM on, of course, and suspending BOINC manual prior to hibernation [don't use snooze as that clock ticks even when powered down[], works well. When powering up again, just let the computer load the memory image proper and wait till the HD light goes to rest, only then unsuspended/resume BOINC.
Whilst, knreed has promoted a feature that Rickjb requested, a staggered start of tasks. Moi, I requested shortly after for the <start_delay> feature which can be set in the config file, to have it's functionality expanded to also work when coming out of hibernation [the signal of powering down is logged by client]. Presently this delay only works when boinc.exe is first launched. Then, the manual suspend is not required, just setting the delay to 1 or 2 minutes to give the hiberfil.sys file time to load [6.2GB on last lidclose] and boinc.exe not trying it's hardest to start running when the disk is still [very] busy. 2 CA cents. |

BTW, Toralf, there's a Start Here FAQ that describes the checkpointing for each science and it's noteworthy particulars... just that you know. Nobody ever comments on up-to-date, out-datedness, so proofs the point that few ever visited them, 'only' 4700 reads since creation in 2007 ;)

I must admit that I didn't read the FAQ until now. I'm planning to run workunits on days where my computer is up and running for more than 12 hrs.
----------------------------------------O.k. some manual control is necessary but for me it's acceptable. |
