No, I think you may have misinterpreted my post. By performance, I just mean overall performance, preferably optimized for the perfect median… Not trying to squeeze more performance, just trying to work with what I got and ensure all the moving parts and software and such are playing fair and on the same page… Basically looking for just smoothness and proper running of my systems at all times. I’ve had so many issues over the years, most likely user error, with just freeze ups, overheating, high CPU usage when I’m not really doing anything intensive at all and not to mention many WiFi issues, but that’s probably a whole other topic. I dont quite know what aspects or programs I should configure or how or if everything should just be default, etc. Sometimes I just wing configurations to things that make sense to me. Needless to say, I just want to ensure my system stays on the same page and runs smooth, how it should, with fewer errors or slowdowns or other annoyances.
