If I unterstand this correctly, the tasks need the more RAM / HDD space the deeper their analysis goes.Wouldn't it make sense to start an additional app which can run tasks on several cpu threads like let's say on four? That way only a quarter of the taks would be run at the same time freeing resources four deeper research. Axiom tasks have already proven to run happily on several cpu threads before they got restricted to only one. Of course the number of cpu threads would have to be reported to the BOINC client so that it doesn't accept too many tasks at once thinking they were single-threaded tasks like before.

Good question. Each task is intentionally single-threaded — BOINC fills all your cores by sending multiple independent tasks, each with a different random seed. The scientific value comes from having many independent replications across different seeds. Faster machines naturally go deeper within the same time budget, and our analysis prioritizes those deeper results. RAM and disk usage are capped at 2GB by design, so it stays within a consistent footprint regardless of depth.
