very low cpu utilization snapdragon x2 elite extreme #7014
Description
Describe the bug
Currently running PPS (LLR) tasks on my X2 Elite Extreme snapdragon laptop.
But only 6 cores are being fully utilized, which translates to 20-25% cpu utilization.
Task manager priority is set to low by default, but even setting it to high makes no difference.
So even if Native ARM64 tasks are not possible right now, please fix this utilization issue.
And sierpinski/riesel base 5 (LLR) is only utilizing 5%, so please check all the CPU applications, and make sure they all utilize the snapdragon x2 elite extreme 100%.

If the project's application doesn't utilize 100% of the CPU core - this is not our problem.
BOINC client runs all the applications with the low priority to avoid system being too slow, but this could be overriden in the client configuration by setting <process_priority> parameter.
Also, on the modern laptops (not sure about one based on ARM) OS kernel throttled some heavy applications to avoid system overheat and too fast battery discharge.
