No, it does not slow the computer down.
It preoccupies the program processing.
It’s interesting to watch free Bitsum Process Lasso respond and report and throttle other things to keep the system as responsive as possible during testing.
Depending on your power plan options, your computer will continue to run at full speed, just load free CPU-Id and watch the MHz lock in at maximum during test.
Aside from the mislabeled feature ( NOT slowing the computer down ), this is useful as a reference tester, I guess.
Suggestions for improvement:
Include it’s own performance dashboard of computer performance and let us dial in a target, such as
( a ) pre test to show 100% CPU, drive, video, and I/O speeds
( b ) let us dial in a target % for CPU, drive, video, and I/O speeds.
Right now I can use power plan controls to limit CPU to 50%, for example.
And in terms of responsiveness, keyboard and mouse responsiveness are also part of our experience, why not control them, too?
Thanks, I’m looking forward to v3 with all my suggestions incorporated.
