GStreamer uses _SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF to determine 'max-threads'. On the Steam Deck, this is configured to be 16 (which is double its number of logical cores).
_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF also disregards a process's CPU affinity, thus it can create more threads than is useful, which ultimately wastes memory resources.
Using affinity to set 'max-threads' addresses both these problems.
-- v9: winegstreamer: Set MAX_THREADS to 4 for i386. winegstreamer: Use thread_count to determine 'max-threads' value. winegstreamer: Use process affinity to calculate thread_count.

The avdec_h264 element can use 32MB per thread when working with 4K video.
With 16 threads, this is 512MB, which is a quarter of the RAM available to a 32-bit application. Setting 'max_threads' to 4 can save 384MB. --- dlls/winegstreamer/unixlib.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
