That's not what I meant. I restricted the process only to use core 0, so the OS was forced to run Blockland on that core only.
Since I now set the affinity to all 4, the operating system can choose to put BL on any core it wants. The less-busy cores will be chosen.
I was not talking about single-threading.
In a nutshell, I moved the process to less busy cores.

Will there be any expansions?

I may add a free slot in 2 weeks or so. Depends on the overall RAM usage.
Right now, 3.8 GB/4.5 GB is being used at peak load times.
We still have plenty of CPU, since the overall usage is 17%, and is 31% at the heaviest load times.

I see what you're saying now, I misread what you were saying before. In that case yes, it will definitely help the process.

Yes. I also put everything which is not Blockland on core 0.
The only reason that particular CPU core has high load is because stupid WMIprvSe.exe causes a spike every 11 seconds. And in turn, that lags the Blockland.exe.
I think I restricted Chubaka's server on that core by accident.

Control panel update
I have finished making the server-side of the HamHost web control panel! I have also fixed any bugs.
Now, I have started creating the client-sided web page.
