We don't deal with public cheating accusations or publicised methods of cheating. I understand you are trying to avoid a situation where hacking is possible and want the developers to know but by posting this you are only advertising a potential way of map hacking.
No, a vent thread is an absolutely abhorrent idea you'll get all the worst stuff pouring out and it's just rubbish to read. I appreciate the effort of trying to take all the crap from the forums and put it in one place but this becomes a giant cesspool and soon overflows.

I have not done much extensive testing, I played vs the AI on Langreskaya so already some of my CPU will be busy planning the AI's moves. I have not played long games as I haven't had the time, so I cannot tell if -USEALLAVAILABLECORES will reduce late game lag significantly. However, it can be noted there is a difference in CPU activity.
-USEALLAVAILABLE cores does not let my processor use all it's cores as it does use all of them already, but it does dramatically increase CPU usage across all cores without any noticable benefit. This makes me wonder if it doesn't boost performance at all and may in fact help to burn out your CPU, or may be useful in other ways such as overcoming input lag from a slow machine or taxing in-game effects. I will test it in some 1v1s and 2v2s another time to see what result I get.
[EDIT]: It may well be different for your machine, mine is already pushed to the limit and things such as game boosters and replays turned off have little to no effect on my game's FPS anyway, so try it out on a higher end machine before taking my word as gospel.
