Recently I've noticed my paging file more than doubled in size from an average of 1.5GB to 3.41GB (currently). I haven't changed any BOINC preferences since I began rosetta 3 months ago. It has caused me to have to stop BOINC whenever I wish to run anything that will push to the paging file (like games).

I also fail to see how it could have a paging file of 3.58 if the paging file on my system is only 2GB total. When I turn off BOINC the paging file usage goes back down to 501MB. Is there a specific setting I should look for in the preferences to correct this gross overuse of the paging file?

Also note I do not hear my hard drive being used constantly, nor am I out of available RAM (875MB available, 2100MB total) My CPU usage is at 100% on all 4 cores as it has always been.

Hi Kao,

There have been more issues on the 5.85 beta. These issues have been posted on:
