I don't see why it wouldn't, as you say it is performing a more granular functionality. I personally have found you are better just leaving the optimizations off. The SFO services (RTO memory stuff) runs with every user login. It slows logins to a crawl. This software was originally written to be run..have the optimizations applied after it had reviewed the system and then turned off once it optimizes the dlls. I am not sure how they modified it to work with Citrix. The Aurema stuff is closer to what threadmaster does but without the console and ability to control what is going on it is pretty much useless...it is either on or off and you can't really get out of it what you want. I still think that if you need these types of apps in the first place you should start looking at your applications and get your vendor or programmer to fix what is wrong with them.

My guess is a bunch of people don't even turn it on. I know there has been alot of reports of issues with the memory optmizations from posters to this list, and I think I recalled 1 or 2 people with problesm with the CPU management as well. Threadmaster is a pretty basic app when it comes down to it. Watch for CPU to exceed a certain threshold and then throttle it. It could probably run fine with the PS4 management.
