It's easy to say you gained 20fps without actually showing a comparison. I'm not saying you're lying or anything, but I find it comparatively hard to believe that you'd get a boost of that magnitude from a simple registry edit. I mean, if it was that significant, then shit, it'd be all over the internet, which it isn't.
Nonetheless, CPU parking would be more noticeable on a laptop rather than desktop...
Anyhoo...

In essence you'll probably find more performance in overclocking your VRam since BF4 has an updated texture pipeline built in. But yeah, whatever.
As far as my performance goes, I'm not seeing any stuttering or lag on an overclocked i7 3770k 4.6Ghz + overclocked GTX 680 1306Mhz. Running 60+/- fps on Ultra.

take it or leave it mate, just telling people what i did an the performance boost i got. an i wasn't the only one, 8 of my mate who were playing with me got the same. no i don't have proof as i wasn't recording but i did check twice (doing an undoing what i did an seen a tangible benefit from it, an the guy whos video i put up has a 4770k an he did to. so like i said do it or don't i couldn't give a rats, got nothing to gain from telling you about it, bar an opponent with a decent frame rate
I'm going to download the tool now, so I'll let you know if it benefits me.
I did notice a stutter in-game the other day, it's not quite lag (and wouldn't be at 60+fps) but just a slight jitter...I think this might help. I'll let you know!
Edit: Okay so first two cores were parked, so I've just unparked them, I'll restart the rig now and let you know later on after a session on BF4 how I get on!
Edit: Okay so restarted and checked that they were still unparked which they were but it didn't give me any more fps in BF4. Worth a try though!

This launch was worse than Total War Rome 2.. which says a lot!
Constantly crashing out due to server crashes. Really annoying along with a lot of server lag even though my internet is more than enough for this game.

SuB to the skill value: It's "Security Through Obscurity" nobody knows what Skill does and thus nobody cares about the value at all... Even if its the biggest value on the soldier screen: nobody looks at it because as you said, its arbitrary, or with an algorithm unknown to the user.
Today I made a test run on my new hardware (green stuff in the signature) and on ultra it ran at around 80fps on OP Locker (I disabled HBAO, made post processing on low and turned anti aliasing post off)
ran like a charm, but when I set the settings to low, it ran at 120-140fps, but every minute or so, the game would get a HUGE performance drop (to around 2fps). This might be because I'm using VERY old RAM (Some Corsair Dominators with initially 1600MHz, but I had to set them to 1333 because my mainboard wouldn't support them otherwise for some reason) and there's only 4GB of this RAM total so... I suspect this this might be the cause.

Had another go on it last night, got shit on again! I went support for the first time which was pretty cool, I can't remember the name but the shotgun type grenade launcher he has as he secondary...shot down a chopper trying to land at the petrol station on floodzone...then for the first time the game crashed!

As far as I know only logical cores can be parked. Since you have a 4670k in your sig with no HyperThreading, there should be no effrct.
I really don't know about this core parking thing. I don't really wanta say it's not true, but until I see a waterproof benchmark on this, I'm not convinced.
In theory the programm/game should be able to unpark the cores itself especially if it has proper multi core support.
If that's not happening either the OS or the game/programm have been written sloppy or there is something else messed up.
ShaunB yeah, that thing the XM-25 Airburst grenade launcher. thing's pretty powerful: You can use it to lock onto a distance (maybe a wall with enemies behind it) and when you shoot in the air, where the edge is, the grenade will pass the edge and then explode midair in the faces of the enemies 
sup with you guys! c'mon!
