I think I must have showed up here almost a year ago.
To a good extent, I hand tuned the most major things on my 6/HT core OCed Win7-64 system. Why? Well, is there such a thing as a geek gene? If there is, it must be a dominant trait I have.
But what keeps me hooked on PL is that I see it as a safety net. In the sense, that it isn't really possible for some unexpected program to freeze me out of the system. And as its resource utilization is low, there is negligible cost for this insurance.
I did try when I first got it to put it on a 7 year old system to see what impact it would have. The impact was minimal as the reality is that slow hardware will still be slow hardware; and cannot really be accelerated too much by good software.
I am pretty satisfied with PL. I could see it being of great value you in a software development environment were there is a greater mix of concurrent software; I mean who plays more than a single game at once? And there is the constant errant program or the program that fails consider that the user might actually be trying to write an email while running.
Ed and Jeremy, thank you!
