Tweakscheduler

[chris635]

Hey Jeremy,

     I would like to learn more about what process lasso can do. I am interested in the TweakScheduler. What exactly does it do and how do I use it to take more control over my system?

What's it does is changing the Windows NT Scheduler, it affected how's Scheduler decide when it should switch, or how fast it should switch between threads, for foreground and background processes.

I will said that it is nothing to tweak here, except you want more performance or equal CPU time given between background and foreground processes.

You can also saw this settings changed when you changed the Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System, clicked on Advanced System settings, go to Advanced - Performance - Settings...(button) - Advanced - Processor scheduling.

And ya, each time I saw your signature, I always thought you are a bot, because bot always like to set their name as their signature.

No bots here...just us....aaaa eehhmmm...humans..lol!

But the problem is, how we can prove we are not bots.

It's an expanded rendition of the Windows System Dialog that tells Windows to focus it's CPU resources more on background or foreground processes.

The default for servers is to focus on background processes, turning off the 'foreground boosting' methodologies the workstation edition of Windows needs.

Thanks guys. It's probably best to leave it like it is.

Yes, it is!

I have told people just that hundreds of times over the years. Many people get carried away with tweaking, hoping some random change will make their PC faster or fix some problem they are having. While some tweaks are appropriate, this is definitely not one that should be adjusted unless you are running a workstation edition of Windows as a server and w/o a UI (headless).

For normal user like us, just update Windows to the newest version, and it will be tweaked as it should be when it is released.
