I have had to stop using the suspend because of CPU usage.  When BOINC
starts a software program the AV software cranks up for about 30 seconds
and uses the entire CPU for an AV check of the software being started -
which shuts down BOINC processing.  A few seconds later BOINC tries again
with the same result.  Rinse and repeat forever.

There are several possible solutions:

1)  Provide an exceptions list for CPU usage so that AV software is not
counted.
2)  Provide a setting for the minimum duration of CPU usage before BOINC
processing is terminated.
3)  Provide a delay while starting any task during which no check of CPU
usage is made so that AV reading the application will not trigger a
shutdown.
4)  Have the users disable the feature so that AV won't interfere.
