Create a new user for high-CPU-usage apps
Yes, I've used this concept for graphic intensive tasks- e.g., I have a "PS7" account (with the logo as user icon) for Photoshop, etc. If you look at the Activity Monitor, you'll find the gains in memory and CPU impressive. My only wish is for a way to use this concept within one account as multiple workspaces- this would eliminate the need for entering a password.

i would even say you could use this for finicky apps as well as cpu intensive apps.i have used this trick as well to run Traktor DJ Studio (which is both finicky and cpu intensive) and have had a much better experience. the other upside is if you happen to crash or need to reboot into that user, however unlikely that is, you can boot much faster as well. occasionally traktor decides it's had enough and i need to reboot so this is definitely a good thing, especially when i am about to go on....

I can understand why someone may want to do this for running Quake, it saves the hassle of changing screen res, colour depth and locking the trackpad. Quake isnt something you will use to create data and interact with other applications. Its a game with drastically changed and very specific environment settings. |
