From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Wow, that's a huge difference. I wonder if it's just a niche case that fixes Terraria specifically, it would be nice to see more benchmarks on other games.
I didn't watch it all. (OK, didn't realize it was only a minute. I basically saw everything).
But I wonder if it's simpler than that, and it's just doing a better job prioritizing the game. Presumably there's a reason they're doing it while running a heavy background process.
This obviously still has value if it's the case, and is a big part of the point of a scheduler, but the headline implied (to me) that it's a general performance improvement, and the video doesn't demonstrate that.
