Sorry if this question has already been answered, but is it possible to set a machine to download a new work unit, when the current work unit is 90% complete?
As GPU's are processing frames so quickly, there's an unnecessary delay while the (very large) new work unit is downloaded.

You would need to use v7 with next-unit-percentage

I don’t see an enhancement request for v8 on github. You might create an issue.

The v7 default was to download at 99%, but even with it set to 100% for most the download occurred faster than the post processing of the WU to pack it up for upload.

With v8, it starts downloading immediately when current WU reaches 100%. Sometimes when observing it happening in real time, it looks like v8 pre-downloaded the new WU.
