Though one thing should also be said. If someone has a machine who's
purpose is only to fold, then they can check "DO NOT lock cores to
specific CPU", as well as setting higher CPU Priority. Just make sure
the machine has proper cooling as that thing will get hot :)

But for people who also use their computer while it folds, it can't be
running like that, it's just not feasible.
