(Highly effective) ProcessLassso - Disable CPU-Core-0 on demant single core process

Rust lacks thread/multiprocess optimization, to prevent it from colliding with the CPU-Core-# that manages your OS (normally 0) it is advisable to disable the use of the application specifically to the main core, thus using the CPU-Core-1 that does not handle the main processors.

Ways to enable High priority

Add -cpu_priority high in Launch Arguments on Steam

Inside Registry Editor and \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\RustClient.exe\PerfOptions instance CpuPriorityClass with value 3 to set "high priority mode"

MSI Afterburner

Improve MSI Afterburner Settings (Link)

It won't be very effective (depending on your hardware) since Rust is CPU demanding, and its graphics headroom is easily manageable by many modern cards. But you can even get a few more frames on high end gpus.
