Process Lasso is a unique new technology intended to automatically adjust the allocation of CPU cycles so that system responsiveness is improved in high-load situations. It does this by dynamically temporarily lowering the priorities of processes that are consuming too many CPU cycles, there-by giving other processes a chance to run if they are in need. This is useful for both single and multi-core processors. No longer will a single process be able to bring your system to a virtual stall.
In addition, Process Lasso offers capabilities such as default process priorities, default process CPU affinities, termination of disallowed processes, and logging of processes executed. With Process Lasso you essentially create rules to manage processes running on your system. For example:
Examples
Make notepad.exe run at below normal priority each time its launched.
Make firefox.exe run only on CPU #1 each time its launched.
When any process is consuming 35% or greater of the CPU for 1.5 seconds or more and the total system CPU usage is 95% or greater, lower that process''s priority until it returns to 5% CPU utilization.
Of course, these rules are created for you through an easy to use menu system.
Graphical Interface Features
Easily set rules for default process priorities, affinities, and more.
Optionally show balloon tips to notify you when actions are taken.
Show CPU utilization, system responsiveness, or a simple unchanging icon in the system tray.
Unique system responsiveness calculation and graph display, along with typical processor utilization graph.
Easy to use right-click menu system allows for setting of process state and defaults (priority, affinity, startup at login, and more).
Toggle auto-startup (at login) of processes.
When not visible resource use is minimized through a sleep-like mode.
The GUI is not required for process management, it can be completely closed.
