It seems a key aspect of Windows 11 is the ability to adjust tasks for reduced resource consumption by activating "Efficiency Mode." However, I've observed that many applications default to setting them with "lower processes" in this mode. It appears that controlling the core host task within Efficiency mode isn't straightforward, as sub-tasks can't be toggled independently. Noticing that these tasks often consume more CPU than those not in Efficiency mode, it's puzzling whether this behavior aligns with the intended purpose. Is this an ongoing development or a known limitation? The goal appears to be optimizing resource usage—lower RAM, lower CPU, or overall efficiency—but the results seem counterintuitive. What does this feature truly aim to achieve?

it is meant to place inactive web pages to sleep or reduce their priority (similar to QoS), which browser are you using?

OperaGX usage stays within 25% CPU and 4GB RAM limits (32GB available, two 16GB partitions installed).
Limits occasionally slip despite the restrictions.
