Strata performance finetuning - try it out

As strata is somewhat new, I assume that some people din't yet learn how to finetune it for best performance on their machine.

Proof1 community thread

Key points

  • Strata setup is supposedly picking the best --pcie-frac value for you.
  • By testing different --pool-workers values, I was able to find an easy +10% in decode.
  • Last but not least multi-GPU owners be mindful of GPU priority, if one of your GPUs is on a slower pcie lane.
  • So I quickly figured out that my default GPU 0 is the one on the slowest pcie lane!
