I would very much like the option to prioritize the CPU (and GPU) workload. For example. If i leave my computer untouched for a minute, it will switch to full processorusage, or what ever i set it to, but then when i start to use my computer, it will slow down to about 50% or 25% usage.

As of now, the only option is workload while untouched or no workload.
Or it could be, that it stoppet using one of the cores, when you start to use the computer. Ofcourse, this would only work on multicore systems.
Or you could choose between the two.

Sometimes you dont need the full computer workload, when you use your computer, and in that case, this feature would be handy. In that way you could use your computer, have some processorpower at hand and meanwhile, still compute.

+1 to this here.

I'd really love to be able to tell my computer to use 25% of its power (one of the 4 CPUs, say, or all 4 CPUs at 25% workload) when the computer's not idle, and 100% when it is idle. Instead, I have to set it to suspend all work when the computer's not idle. (I'm running v6.10.18 -- the newest one, I believe, and I see no options to change what I'm talking about. So please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.)

Additionally, if I could (for example) tell it to use one GPU when the computer is not idle, and all GPUs when it is idle, that'd be fantastic too.

This perfectly sums up my wishes. When I work on my laptop I don't want it to get hot and noisy, because it is working on 100%. However, when I am not using my laptop I am perfectly fine with this. So I would like different cpu-usage settings depending on if I am using the computer or not and not only the all or nothing "when I am using my computer" option.
