folding@home cpu usage

[myselfolli]

So I recently installed folding@home on my (debian) root server, since it has been doing jackall and I figured I might as well put it to good use, since I don't pay for electricity and the likes. But I noticed, that the CPU usage was always sitting at about 8%. Is there any way I can crank it up? For all I care it could be doing 80%...

 

The server is headless btw

I'm not sure on how to change it but it sounds like its set to only fold when idle, like when the screen saver goes on.

Since it's a headless server, that's (as I said) doing essentially nothing all day, it should be folding 24/7. Or at least whenever it gets an assignment. And that part is working fine. But it's only working with 8% CPU usage, and since I am not using the other 92%, I'd like to crank that up...

there are 3 levels of folding light, medium and high. You'll need to go for medium I recon, I've nit used f@m onnlinux so no idea how to change it sorry.
