How do I make the client spend X% time on OGR and X% time on RC5?

How can I tell the client to spend 50% of time doing OGR and 50% doing RC5?

time: you can't and neither can the client. It's not possible to predict how much time it takes to do an OGR packet.

packets: But, if you were to count in completed packets rather than time, then all you'd need to do is ensure that the thresholds are equal, and over the long run client will do 50% OGR and 50% RC5 packets.
Obviously, if you wanted to crunch, say, 20% RC5 and 80% OGR, you'd simply set the OGR thresholds to be 4 times that of the RC5 threshold.

If you want to work on only one project see: My client is switching between projects instead of working only on my first choice
