Today I experienced problems with chess-units running on both processors (system significally slowed down). I tried to stop one of the tasks. The boinc client signalled it was suspended, but according to the taskmanager the task still ran (taking up to 80% of the processor). When I exited the boinc client both the engine tasks were still active (not sure if they were still taking processor capacity), I had to cancel them manually.
Is this normal behaviour?
