RustyStar vs profile entrylevelperf #2

First, EcoQoS was introduced to enable initiative control of any throughput bound program for CPU workload of themselves.

It's neither a magic, nor new scheduler algorithm from Microsoft.

Efficiency mode, slightly differs from EcoQoS: it also decrease base priority of a program, to IDLE.

Thus, enable Efficiency Mode for every process is not nessacarilly making sense. On Intel Core 10gen or newer, it may make all processes to be run on E cores.

A good advantage of EcoQoS is that you don't need to pay too much attention to details, and there are no details that can be changed. Compared with a detailed manual tuning, it has a lower threshold.

Anyway, to make more detailed control of any resources, RAM for example, you should look into Win32 Job Objects and process-governor) for a command line tool.

There is no guarantee about it's effect on power consumption, try it yourself and feel free to feedback!
