Increase your system responsiveness

Our Rating: (Very Good!)

Process Lasso automatically adjusts the allocation of CPU cycles in order to prevent system slow downs or lock-ups due to excess CPU usage. The program monitors your system and temporarily lowers the priority of any processes that are consuming too many CPU cycles, thereby preventing it from stalling the system. You can customize the threshold settings and also exclude processes from being restraint. Process Lasso can also prioritize (boost) processes that run in the foreground and automatically terminate applications if they are started (based on a user-defined block list). Other features include manual setting of priorities, real-time resource usage graph and tray icon, editing of default process priorities and more.
