The pic on the left is with the affinity to 3 cores. The right is with 4 cores.
What I don't get is how it seems like you are running the game better than I am.
Well, we are way off topic of the original post, aren't we, lol? But it's my fault too. Since this thread is mostly dead for it's topic anyway, we might as well continue.
In that pic I'm running with standard settings. Default speedhacks + MTVU(no EE or VU hack at all). Software mode with 3 extra rendering threads.
I'd guess it's the 3 extra software threads each with a full core that gets me better speed. E.G. I have 6 cores, with EE, GS, VU, software, software, software. So none of my threads are sharing resources.
With a four core, you could use 1 extra thread max without sharing resources.
That's just my guess. Although aside from shadows, SO3 runs fine in hardware mode. Any reason you are using software? Or was it just a test?
And yeah honestly your pic there is the closest to max usage on multiple cores that I've seen.
