How does Windows use the concept of process affinity to optimize performance?

[ProfRon]

You ever wonder why your PC doesn't bog down when you're running a bunch of apps? Windows tweaks process affinity to keep things zippy. It pins tasks to specific CPU cores, like assigning buddies to chores. That way, the system avoids jumping around, wasting time. I mean, imagine your brain flipping channels mid-thought-that's what happens without it.

Affinity lets Windows match heavy jobs to the strongest cores. You fire up a game, and it sticks to the fast lanes. No more lag from cores fighting over scraps. I've seen it smooth out video edits on my rig. It even balances loads during multitasking, so nothing starves.

Picture editing photos while streaming music. Windows uses affinity to glue the photo app to one core cluster. The music player chills on another. Everything hums along without hiccups. You feel the difference in responsiveness, right? It's all about that smart allocation under the hood.
