Is the CPU utilization equal to reduction of artifacts amount?
If yes, what setting that I need to tweak in order to achieve that (of course without affecting the smoothness itself) ?
Is the CPU utilization equal to reduction of artifacts amount?
At least for me, the answer was no - there was a point where increasing the CPU utilization actually increased the artifacts.

So um, I put SVP 4 in my windows startup directory since it already seems to do better on my not-so-high-end Core 2 Duo, but whenever Windows is booting up SVP 4 complains that my CPU performance has changed significantly and it wants to re-optimize its settings. Is there any way to stop this from occurring?
Yes and no 
Core 2 Duo should be highly loaded at the startup...
%APPDATA%/SVP4/settings/ui.cfg
"perf/dont_retest": true
But it still will silently run retest at system startup and give you less scores than your system actually deserve

it might be better to say this
Thanks. BTW, keep going correcting language mistakes 
Oh, I couldn't help but notice that SVP4 is only distributed as an installer. Considering that, as far as I can tell, it's only the program directory that gets added since it requires SVP 3.1.7 to be pre-installed, why not just distribute it in an archive? That would be easier for upgrading to new preview versions and then you don't have to worry about junking up the Windows registry unnecessarily.

there won't be too many builds of the TP...
Yes and no
Well I just found out that it even happens with my Pentium G3258 when underclocked to 2.5GHz, but it does not happen on the very same CPU when underclocked to 2.6GHz; however setting the Windows power plan to "High performance" causes the issue to not happen (but that's really sub-optimal).
And just so you don't get the wrong idea, I made sure to not change any CPU settings during the reboot after running the performance analysis.
Also, found another minor grammar error; in the very same windows that says it needs to measure system performance, the second paragraph ends in the word "proceed" - this should instead say "proceeding."
EDIT: Oy vey, I just rebooted with my Pentium G3258 at 2.4GHz and SVP 4 didn't complain about my CPU performance being different...
SVP 3 wasn't working for DVDs. Will SVP 4 support playing DVDs?

svp definitely can smooth blu rays ( i watched few bd remuxes 40gb+) and dvd probably too. check your player bro
No, it doesn't work for DVDs, whether directly from the DVD or by ripping the DVD onto the computer. The DVD has to be converted/re-encoded in order for SVP to work with it. Otherwise, it lags and plays jerky.
I asked the devs a while ago and they just said "who watches DVDs nowadays anyway"

"who watches DVDs nowadays anyway"
and now you finally know the answer?

DVDs play perfectly fine with SVP even with my SURFACE PRO 3 , just play them from the "VIDEO_TS" folder after of course having removed eventual restrictions with programs like anydvdhd. No lags or jerky playback whatsoever. That said I've seen DVDs that properly scaled with nnedi etc. look better that some blurays
