The verdict
A core-affinity and priority tweaker that can smooth stutter and add some FPS on old or low-end CPUs, but does little on modern PCs. Skip it if your hardware is decent.
Great for
Owners of old, low-end or laptop CPUs with CPU-bound games who want a simple one-click tweak
Main risk
No measurable FPS gain on a mid or high-end PC, while free tools do the same thing
