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
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| 2 cores | Minimal CPU usage, keeps system highly responsive |
| 4 cores | Balanced CPU usage |
| Max | Uses 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
Using fewer cores will result in slower compression times, but your system will remain more responsive for other tasks.
