Fixed Multithreaded unplayably slow with CPU management

During testing of the multithreading today a friend and I have discovered that if you're using some form of process or management. such as project lasso and forget to disable it, the performance with the multithreading is worse than in non-multithreading. this makes sense because that is what setting processer affinity it's supposed to do. "Locking on 1 to 2 single cores"

During our testing, we were trying to figure out why we were having such poor performance in multithreading. We both remembered that we had set up processor affinity with project lasso on DCS and other programs to make them perform on our more performant cores. If you forget to disable this then the software runs at fewer frames. with the maximum we saw being barely over 10

NOTAM if you have NEVER used Programs like Project lasso, CPUCores, Windows Affinity, or any program that has the ability to lock a process to a single core or thread

This is most likely not your issue

things to try if you're having slow performance.

Make sure you have DCS set with normal processor affinity,

Programs like Project lasso, CPUCores any program that has the ability to lock a process to a single core or thread will break DCS if you have used it to control the DCS process.

Windows has this ability as well, Unsure if there is a way to permanently set affinity in windows. Maybe a registry thing.

We were using Project lasso to lock DCS to our best cores to get the best experience now with Multithreading it is unnecessary 

FIX Disable  Project lasso Or other programs that can set CPU affinity, Reboot, and see what happens.
