Overview

Compresto allows you to limit the number of CPU cores used during compression. This setting helps balance compression performance with system responsiveness.

Available Options

OptionDescription
2 coresMinimal CPU usage, keeps system highly responsive
4 coresBalanced CPU usage
MaxUses all available cores for fastest compression (default)

When to Use

Limiting CPU cores can improve system performance during compression by:
  • Keeping your Mac responsive while compressing large files
  • Allowing you to continue working on other tasks during compression
  • Reducing system heat and fan noise on intensive compression jobs

How to Configure

1
Open Compresto
2
Go to Settings > Advanced
3
Adjust the CPU cores for compression slidercpu cores
Using fewer cores will result in slower compression times, but your system will remain more responsive for other tasks.
