Could you build this?

Partial The UI and scripted registry, bcdedit, and affinity changes are vibe-codeable, but safe kernel-level tuning and trustworthy DPC latency measurement require Windows internals expertise and ETW or kernel instrumentation that the builder must understand to avoid system instability.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a Windows service or driver with admin privileges, ETW-based latency logging (similar to LatencyMon), and careful IRQ affinity and power-setting changes with rollback. The hard parts are the empirical measurement methodology and making changes that are safe and reversible, which requires systems programming and driver-level expertise.
