[BOINC] Why does my BOINC agent show different points than the web site?

The BOINC agent and the UD agent compute points differently. In particular, BOINC points are much lower than UD points. As a result, World Community Grid multiplies the points granted to a user for a result by 7 when the statistics are imported into World Community Grid's web site. The BOINC client is not aware of this multiplication, and it thus reports the points that were granted by BOINC.
