Also if it's really using 100% of the CPU (not just one core), then it will affect the overall PC experience since it uses up all available resources and doesn't leave anything for other processes.
I personally dislike it when an application makes my "PC" lag every now and then. CPU time and RAM are shared resources, thus applications should make sure to not act selfish unless asked for (e.g. encoding a video, etc).
- zymhan 11y agoIt's not up to a random application to make sure you have other resources available, that's your OS's job.
- yawboakye 11y agoThe argument is in favor of near 100% CPU for a short period; gets the job done faster, and uses the available resources (100% CPU) the OS handed down. The time the process spends at 100% is the difference.
