But after a few cycles of wus finishing, the change would suddenly kick in. A few times it was immediate. I even tried forcing it in the client state xml and restarting; it was ignored. Currently hand managing hydra6 as I try to get it back to 2 per gpu.
Zombie clued me into this. If the tasks are downloaded when the preference setting at .33, they're tagged as such and your gpu will try to run 3 at once. If you want to change to 2 tasks you have to change the preference setting to .5, abort what you have downloaded at .33 and download more....which then get tagged at .5

@F$ - thanks for making that post a Sticky.
