![]() By selectively lowering background process priorities, you can boost responsiveness and prevent things from 'getting in the way'. The priorities simply help the scheduler decide what should get the CPU when two or more processes (actually threads) need it. A High priority process runs no 'faster' than a Low priority process. In fact, that is not at all how CPUs work, and not at all the purpose of priorities. Sadly, most of the cheap '' type apps you see spun out from the 'cheap software factories' do just this - raise the priority of games and then lie to consumers, saying that somehow gives them more 'horsepower'. Windows already boosts the effective priority of the foreground process, and further boosting is usually detrimental. Some games can have big problems when this sort of boosting is used. It is disabled by default for this reason. One thing I would like to warn against is 'Foreground boosting', a feature Process Lasso does offer, with warnings attached. ![]() It is best to rely on Process Lasso's default settings, which have been tuned over many years of real-world use. Why? Because the process of tuning a system is so complex that you're more likely to do more harm than good. I mean, you *do* want to identify your games as 'games' by setting them to automatically enter gaming mode, but you don't want to go around tweaking a bunch of other settings. My best recommendation is usually not to make any. Often people ask what configuration changes they should make to further improve their systems. It tells Process Lasso what processes are games. The 'Configure game processes' option is just that. Set this for your games, then you do not need to also exclude them from ProBalance restraint, though doing so won't hurt anything either. Quote from: bitsum.support on August 31, 2011, 01:16:59 PM There is an option 'Automatically enter gaming mode'. If you have additional questions, please ask. However, this must be done carefully, and our ProBalance algorithm is the result of many years of tuning. There is an option 'Automatically enter gaming mode'.
