Comment(by mikeperry):
According to http://www.boinc-wiki.info/Choosing_a_BOINC_Powered_Project,
other promising candidates include:
1. ABC@Home
2. The Lattice Project
3. SETI @ Home
4. Rosetta @ Home
This list excludes a couple projects from the FAQ entry in my previous
comment because of either closed-source software or infrequent work
availability.
All of these have either low unit of work times, and/or can be configured
to perform smaller tasks. Though, on the lower bound we still appear to be
looking at at least a half our of work. Additionally, the memory
requirements for Rosetta in particular seem rather obscene.
In general, BOINC does seem to have some support for an "anonymous" mode
that does not transmit your platform information to the server:
