Is there a setting in Crossover, where you can limit the amount of CPU cores being used?

 

This might improve performance, since other applications actually run faster, when, in the case of my base M4 Mac mini with 10 CPU cores, you limit the CPU usage to 40%, making the application only utilize the P cores, and virtually disabling the E cores. 

 

And especially for older games, which were made before P and E cores were a thing, and many of these games were also written/optimized for 4 core CPU's, so a limit setting like this might really benefit Crossover performance, if available, or it's something the developers could add.

If you tell what games you want to run, this makes easier to answer. I'm not so much in Crossover because lack of compatibily and performance. I though via Parallels Desktop you will get better performance then via Crossover.

Here is guy trying gaming: You can start watch approx from 6:35 where he talks about performance and playing some games.
