Message from server: (won't finish in time) BOINC runs 39.3% of time, computation enabled 100.0% of that

Can someone tell me what's wrong?
Thank you!

The BOINC client is requesting work for one of your projects. Based on your current preferences and project resources the client estimates that there will not be sufficient time to complete any work it gives you. To try to fix this problem increase your project resource % for that project or decrease your project resource % for other projects. Also try Advanced -> Preferences -> Network and try to increase value of Additional Work Buffer (max 10.0).

I think you should reduce that value, since a bigger cache means a longer turnaround time.

The problem could be a bug in BOINC versions later than 6.6.31. It's being investigated.

Is your machine 24/7? If not, this could be another reason, too. Due to the statistics the client creates during run time, it has come to the conclusion that the average run time is too short to complete that particular WI before the deadline. If you're running 24/7, then I would consider a bug, as Gundolf statet in the last post.

If you're using Boinc 6.6.36 you will see this happening at Milkyway. I dropped back to 6.6.28 and the problem disappeared. I haven't seen the problem at other projects, but that may be because I simply missed the messages.

Same problem with Rosetta; SETI runs ok

I've installed BOINC Manager version 6.6.38 and the problem seems fixed now.
