[Q] What's the name of the app that forces an app to a specific resolution?

For the life of me, I can not find this app. Google search is letting me down, for once.

I want to be able to force an app to run at a lower resolution, mainly for performance reasons since some apps aren't very fast at the 2560x1600 resolution of this tablet.

Also curious if the app can help with apps that don't scale to full-screen, like Let's Golf 3 that is stuck in a little 800x480 section of the screen.

You can use wm in a terminal. Search for that.

Will this actually improve performance? Or will it make no difference because the physical number of pixels that need to be shifted around is the same?

It will be down-scaling the image, while it does improve render performance, its not the same as running is nativley at a lower reolution. Same as what ms is doing to the xbox one...
