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 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 process priority optimization 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 and affinities, termination of disallowed processes, a system responsiveness graph, and logging of processes. Once you install Process Lasso, it'll just start working. More advanced users can tweak the configuration, but you needn't touch anything to have it instantly improve your system responsiveness in high load situations. Best of all, Process Lasso does all this while consuming very few system resources. Written in native C++, Process Lasso is the tightest product on the market. It consumes fewer system resources than any competitor. For absolute minimal resource consumption, the core engine can even be run without the GUI at all. It is designed to be completely independent and capable of running as a stand-alone background process or service.
