Which affinity should I stack first?

Posting from the other side of a very long troubleshooting session. Rolling back to the previous version made the problem disappear entirely.

I compared notes with a friend and we got completely different outcomes on similar hardware. Feel free to tell me I have missed something obvious.

I went through this last month. the difference is real but small enough that you may not notice it while playing.

Report back once you have tried it.

Counterpoint: do not copy someone else’s config wholesale — start from defaults and adjust to your own setup.

The usual fix here is the defaults are conservative on purpose, so there is usually headroom to gain.
