Not sure if anyone else uses it, but I've been using it for a couple years now. I like to browse the internet while I render but DAZ likes to take everything you give it. By using this tool you can liimt individual programs usage of the CPU and it works like a charm for DAZ. Obviously, you should expect a speed impact on your render.

    It is rediculously easy to set afinity manually.

    Unknown tools, I'm wary of

    I just use a desktop icon to set priority to 'below normal' - if I'm not doing anything else, studio gets the whole cpu; if I decide to play a game or video, or browse the web, studio gets what is left. Works quite well.

    Well if you are rendering Iray you aren't using your CPU it's the GPU you are using, so no use messing with the CPU as it will have no effect !

    Different story for 3Delight it uses the CPU in renders!

    Unless you have a larger scene than your GPU memory can handle.
    Then you're rendering Iray with your CPU.
