Performing tasks more efficiently

[mr don]

CCleaner, Defraggler, Recuva, & Speccy are all terrific programs. On high end machines, it may not be necessary to use such high priorities or even more than a single core to accomplish the task.

 

Many chips come with multiple cores now, & I would love the ability to have a slider that you can adjust to only use 1 core, 2 cores, 3 cores, 4 cores etc!

Also, a slider to adjust priority from low, below normal, normal, above normal, high, & real time so that if you don't need anything but low, you don't use it!

 

If you could include an option to set the max MHZ a program can use, say, don't use more than 300 MHZ, that would be awesome as well. The ability to adjust the slider in increments of 100 MHZ from 100 to whatever the max is for your computer. This way, say, a program that doesn't need much CPU such as defraggler, can be set to use no more than it needs to run on low priority, in the background, single core, 300 mhz or so... Leaving the rest of the power for apps that really need it!

 

When you include these options, can you also include the option to save these settings in the .ini file so we can run it portably that way as well?

 

Thank you!
