What are those FFFFFFF in the CPU load panel ?. Some new one to show what ?
Affinity.
1 = core 0
2 = core 1
4 = core 2
8 = core 3
10 = core 4
20 = core 5
40 = core 6
80 = core 8
100 = core 9
200 = core 10
400 = core 11
800 = core 12
etc.
You can combine these numbers if you want to put something on multiple cores, for example F (1+2+4+8, hex numbers) is core 0, 1, 2 or 3.
You would normally leave these on FFFFFFFF, or choose a specific core for each thread. If you do that, the difference in performance that some people have reported if you restart it is gone.
Only use this if you know what you're doing. If you're combining threads on 2 virtual CPU's that are using a shared core via Hyperthreading, performance will drop a lot. Core 0 is used for many OS things, so if you can avoid using it that's better.
I'm currently using "4" (core 2) for the main processing thread and "10" (core 4) for the 2nd processing thread, and "40" (core 6) for the GUI.
