Why shaders compile faster if you open task manager ?

Hi. I’ve noticed that that if I oppen task manager with CTRL-SHIFT-Escape while the engine compiles shaders, the CPU usage goes to almost 100% and they compile much faster. I’ve tested this so far on 3 PCs, and I see the same behaviour. Why is this happening ?

This is because you’re sending to background the UE app. It is the same if you just minimize the UE window
