    The switch is next-unit-percentage.  If it's set to a value of 100, then the current unit is completed (100% done) before downloading the next unit.  This prevents the second unit from sitting idle before your GPU starts on it.  This maximizes the quick return bonus (QRB) since it's calculated off of time of download and subsequent upload.
