Description Morgan Leijström 2018-04-01 20:33:21 CEST 
In boinc manager menu Tools > Computing preferences...
tab [disk and memory usage],
i have set memory max 30% for both when computer is idle and when it is in use.

I have 8G RAM. I watch each of five boinc processes use more than 1GB *each*!

When i enable more processes I experience oom-kill.

Often firefox get killed.
