Solved my Skypoker software lag issues - finally!!!

If you have a quad core processor.

Open task manager, then resource manager, CPU tab, wiew the graphs for the 4 cores when sky is running with a bunch of tables open. If all 4 cores are not being used, or one core is hitting 100% then do the following:

Open task manager, right click skypoker in processes, set affinity, choose cores 0,1,&2.

Now with the 4th core assign all your other processes that run when sky does.

Then open regedit and disable windows 7 parking to make your PC use all 4 cores at all times:

- Go to Regedit 

- Find this key:- " 0cc5b647-c1df-4637-891a-dec35c318583 " 

- Within this key, there is a value called: " ValueMax " 

- This value represents the % number of cores the system will park - the default 100% ie: all Cores are potentially park-able 

- Change the value from 64 to 0 so the " ValueMin " and " ValueMax " are both zero 

- You will have to find the key a few times and repeat the process for each time it is found - the number of instances will depend on the number of power profiles in your system

- Do a full shutdown and power-off and cold-re-start 

This worked for me  

Now my PC uses 3 cores equally when sky is running, rather than one core being at 100% often, and the software lagging.

If this works for you reply here with a thankyou as this has taken me months to figure out with my limited IT knowledge.
