OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Did default "helper threads" get changed in patch?

So, reading that thread again, I believe you may want to set Helper Threads to 0 if you don't want OOTPB to take away any RAM and processing capability from other programs that you may be running at the same time.

To me, I want OOTPB to have all the help it can get because it is top priority when I am playing it. So, I give it the recommended 8 helper threads so it will run smoother and faster. That is my take-away.

So, developers perhaps should look at this in conjunction with any complaints about slow sim speed? Last year's default was the "Use Recommended (8)" IIRC.
