Win7 CPU "Parking"

[Freddie]

According to Microsoft it depends on power settings. If you select the "high performance" plan, parking doesn't happen.

I.e. parking is a power-saving feature.

I haven't tested this ... it's just what I've read.

I read that as well and checked my power settings, it was set to "High Performance" which should have core parking disabled.

What about the sub-settings for "High Performance?" I think you have to press Advanced to get to them. Is parking itemized there?

No, it isn't. Only throttling. We're quickly getting into "I don't think that means what you think it means" territory here and I haven't found a good writeup on the basics behind the three different processor/thread optimizations that apply here vis-a-vis multiboxing performance in Dalaran. If I find one, I'll forward it along. I'd write up a quick one but I'm sleep deprived (babysitting cats this week and those bitches are NEEDY).

Interesting. I just skimmed the documentation for the Win32 API for controlling this stuff programmatically to see if the setting is there. The API is incredibly complicated.

When I get time I'll try to add a setting to Mojo so the user can check a box and Mojo will disable parking while it's running.

It's going to have a bunch of performance settings like that.
