AFAIK the client writes client_state.xml only when something important
changes, like jobs finishing, new jobs arriving, file transfers finishing, etc.
It's possible that the number of writes could be slightly reduced.
I don't think a huge reduction is possible.
The log flag <statefile_debug> shows when and why the state file is written.

This last line led to some question - does BOINC (not only BOINC for Android,
BOINC
for Windows too) have option to change time interval that it uses to write
client_state.xml file?
Looks like this constant status update wear storage the most.
For separate science apps user has checkpoint interval option that he can
increase
if he quite confident in own computing system. But what about BOINC itself?
Maybe
worth to update client_state.xml only by checkpoint intervals?
Or to provide separate adjustable option for this interval?
It's nothing to do with original lack of documentation topic, but worth to think
about too IMHO.
