Only as note to clarify core parking support for Windows 7.

Source: Processor Power Management in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/pnppwr/powermgmt/ProcPowerMgmtWin7.mspx

page 16, chapter Core Parking:

Core Parking is supported only on Windows Server 2008 R2. However, the Core Parking algorithm and infrastructure is also used to balance processor performance between logical processors on Windows 7 client systems with processors that include Intel Hyper-Threading Technology.

Greetings!

Disabling CPU Parking is the best thing I’ve done for my i7 computer. It really improves performance. (i7 920, 6 Gigs DDR3, ATI 5770, Desktop Computer running Win 7 x64).

I like to share my experience

I tried 3 applications:

DIRT 2: Now I can max out all Graphics at 1080p, and gained an extra 20 FPS!!. Frame rate became far more stable (sudden frame rates drops dissapeared),

Heaven Benchmark 2.1: Now I can run decent tessellation ( Catalyst 10.5 also helped ) and got an average of 10fps more out of it.

Visual Studio 2010: It might be only my impression but builds are faster (140.000+ lines of source code), XAML rendering and Intellisense work smoother.

Overall disabling this feature on Desktop computers is a Must!!
