hi,

to prevent that credits are not gave due to out of time reached, you should considerate to don't download new tasks until the transitioner queue is empty.

Else, in case the queue did not terminate (actually it is still > on one day) fast, I could force to stop download new WU from the server, so you need to have another BOINC connected to process as backup.

We can move the DB to special super fast SSD, but before that I would like that old WU where processed in time for give credits.

Thanks

Unfortunately no.

The (new) WU creation is done when a received WU is processed and validated (as it is used the result as "seed"). If I stop the creation, the WU is assimilated, marked as done, and then I cannot create a new WU from a data that goes mixed in all the others.

Normally WU are generated in a independent manner, so you can stop it.
I can only block that users takes WU from the pool in case.
