    My main issue with “CryoUtilities” is the way that the application has become much bigger than the tweaks it employs.

    It’s actually a really useful utility. It’s the blanket application of “recommended settings” that grinds my gears.

    There are some settings that are likely to be broadly helpful: Swappiness for example.

    Others are likely to help performance in some games, not in others: Transparent hugepages for example.

    There are also some I don’t reccomend: 16GB Swap file for example.

    The problem is that by bunching these disparate tweaks together, you obfuscate which are helping, which are hindering and which are doing neither. It’s just bad practice.
