Have seen about 3 "performance guides" giving bad info

To all those telling people to set their dayz process to high or realtime, please read this link

tl;dr jacking your dayz process priority too high screws the rest of your system out of the cpu time it needs to work properly.

 

setting it to normal or above normal will yield the best results.

 

Use http://www.askvg.com/how-to-permanently-set-process-priority-in-windows-task-manager/  to set and remember process priority so you dont have to do it everytime you boot the game up.

True, but I haven't seen guides suggesting real time, only high priority.

We can discuss about the usefulness of putting it to high, but for sure it does not represent the same risks that you would have setting it to real time (this should never be done in my opinion).

I disagree, both the keyboard and mouse input threads are on high priority, setting the dayz exe to high represents a possibility the dayz exe can interrupt these threads, making your game unplayable. Setting it to above normal is the max imo.
