Win32PrioritySeparation foreground boost

What it does

Registry value tuning foreground/background CPU quantum weighting.

The honest verdict

Endlessly recycled in tweak guides with magic hex values; modern schedulers already prioritize the foreground. No measured benefit in controlled testing.

How Compy treats it

Compy won't recommend it. If you're curious anyway: change one thing at a time, measure it on your own rig, and revert unless it's clearly better — that loop is exactly what Compy is built around.

The Compy Blackbook holds 174 graded entries like this one, judged against your hardware — and every change it does make is reversible, with the receipt to prove it.
