Under Linux (at least for CPU apps, don't know about GPU) your BOINC
tasks take a lower "niced" priority and so will give up their CPU slices
to other things (you on the computer) by nature of how the thread
scheduling works... Unless you've set SCHEDULE=0 (manually, it comes
turned on, =1) then the child processes of BOINC also get "niced" down.
So I think Daniel's point was that you don't really need to suspend
BOINC like you do in Windows (again, I suspect this may not fully apply
if you're doing GPU crunching).  You can read anything on Linux thread
priorities or "Nice" and will have surpassed my knowledge of this topic
though.
