I'm running this project on Ubuntu using BOINC 7.9.3. Your project does not respect the compute limits that I set in the BOINC client preferences. I set it to 30% to prevent the fan noise from getting too loud, but this project still runs at 100%. Any chance of fixing this? I have to shut you off until you do.

Also, unhide your computer if you want more help.

unfortunately, the wrapper is unable to do so and we don't have a developer anymore at the moment

BOINC always respects the "% of the processors" for me. So just set it to 50% or so and see what happens.

Same problem for me. I've tried to set limit on project preference, boinc preference, no way.
I'm using cpulimit to slow down tasks but it's not convenient as i must run the command for each task...
