testing further on my Hyperthreading system. Finally found the correct
flag to set, <mem_usage_debug> for anyone who wants to know. :-)

Set CPU_suspend value to 50.

As you can see, Primegrid is checkpointing like nothing is happening:
19-Feb-10 00:52:23      PrimeGrid       [checkpoint_debug] result
ap26_3854193_3854202_256_0 checkpointed

ap26_3854193_3854202_256_0 checkpointed

values around the last entry, in case you think I am imagining things:
19-Feb-10 00:56:55      PrimeGrid       [mem_usage_debug]

I get these same results on my single CPU system. Does it somehow not
work in 32bit BOINC? Or does it not work on Windows XP? Or does it not
work on a service installation?
