can someone clarify the nuances between the new power plan implementations in the registry section? because the description is slightly ambiguous..... for example, what's the difference between better performance overlay , max performance overlay and high performance? also I suggest arranging them by power consumption in future versions of NTLite to give a better idea about their rankings in regard of performance / energy savings.
 
NTLite is simply reporting the current description names. It has NO IDEA what's inside the power plan, because someone might have modified it on the host or integrated power plan changes into the image.

This is the first iteration of having the power plans, so your comments are useful for improving usability. But I doubt NTLite will delve into the actual plan's contents, so you're expected to know what each power plan is supposed to be.

I've asked nuhi to add the GUID's to the listing, in order to make clear if the description matches a well-known GUID.

Those are Windows questions, every version might be different. Best is to search online (or AI) for details.
It is a bit confusing as Windows hides some of these behind a slider, it took me by surprise as well to see those unknown names.

What you can do is select what you want on your Host machine and save that active scheme as a file for integration, that way if you were happy once, no need to think about the nuances.

but windows is supposed to only have 3 power plans by default (4 if you count the hidden ultimate performance plan)....so from where are all these extra plans ? I mean, where to select them inside windows ?

I wondered what these "hidden" power plans were for, but didn't look for more than that

I just use it to import all the host options into the image for the same power plan, it avoids an additional script
 
It make sense with NTL's 7 opportunities as GPO have plenty of different ways to tune the Powerplan, beside the 3 public from MS.
In GPO go to
Computer > Policies > Administrative Templates > System > Power Management
