Which is exactly the thinking behind the proposal. If the user doesn't submit 
any results to one particular project for a few days, but carries on working 
for others - and that can come about because a project is down for a while, as 
well as because of problems at the user's end - the RAC will decrease relative 
to other projects, and that will boost its future work allocation to compensate.

However, this does presuppose that when a volunteer offers a computing (or 
other) resource for scientific research, their concept of 'Resource Share' is 
denominated in credits. When I joined BOINC - before GPUs joined BOINC - we 
thought of 'share' in units of time. The current REC-based scheme makes it 
almost impossible to offer a CPU time-slice to a project, if the user is also 
working on GPU tasks for the same project. The GPU dominates the REC/RAC 
calculation, and the CPU application doesn't rise high enough in the CPU 
scheduler priorities to be run in preference to CPU-only projects (low REC/RAC, 
hence high priority under this scheme).
