I've asked an AI to make perfect PL settings

Hello,
I asked ChatGPT and Gemini to make optimized settings for my PC: i5-8400, 16gb ram and an nvme drive.
No gaming, no photoshop etc big stuff, just daily stuff. Just to make system more responsive.
And to make .ini/json file so i can import recommended settings to PL.
The Verdict:
Both ChatGPT and Gemini said, that use default settings. ProBalance is good enough for my case.
However, ChatGPT recommended to put Chrome to use CPU cores 4-5. Wow.  :)

Yeah, that makes sense. For a PC like yours and normal daily use, I'd just leave Process Lasso at its defaults and let Windows handle the CPU scheduling—forcing Chrome onto specific cores seems unnecessary and could actually be counterproductive. 🙂

I agree with the verdict. For everyday use on an i5-8400 with 16 GB of RAM and an NVMe SSD, the default Process Lasso settings are usually a sensible choice. ProBalance can help prevent background processes from making the system feel sluggish. CPU affinity for Chrome is worth experimenting with only if you have a specific performance issue to solve; otherwise, Windows generally does a good job scheduling browser workloads automatically.
