I saw that David checked in scheduler changes that will hopefully fix this problem. Thanks David!

Although he is thinking about possible options for adding better scheduler support for custom coprocessors declared in cc_config... Implementation is not trivial, and is also not a current priority. If Bitcoin Utopia wants this problem to be fixed, they may have to do the legwork, and then contribute the solution to BOINC source code. In the meantime, I guess the users will remain without a proper solution. Regards, Jacob PS: My apologies about sending this to the wrong list. It should have went to BOINC Dev, instead of BOINC Alpha.
