I thought when the 'received' timestamp was introduced 
(http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/changeset/18531), it was only intended to 
influence the running order of GPU tasks?

Maybe it should be extended to schedule intra-project CPU tasks as well, 
leaving inter-project scheduling to debt (which GPU scheduling doesn't use 
at all).
