Process Lasso 3.61.0 Beta / 3.60.6

Major Features: 

1. Prevent processes from monopolozing the CPU(s)
2. ProBalance dynamic priority optimization
3. CPU throttling
4. Save process priorities for future instances
5. Save process CPU affinities for future instances
6. Gaming mode
7. Foreground boosting
8. Limit allowed program instances
9. Disallow programs from running
10. Log all programs run
11. Auto-restart processes if they are terminated
12. System responsiveness graph
13. Stand-alone core engine
14. Available in x86-32 and x86-64 builds
15. Extremely low RAM and CPU use
16. Graphical Interface Features:
    • Easy to use right-click menu system allows for modification of process rules and status
    • Select and act on multiple processes at once (i.e. terminate several processes at once)
    • Optionally show balloon tips to notify you when actions are taken
    • Unique system responsiveness calculation and graph display
    • Sleeplike mode reduces resource consumption when the main window isn't visible
    • GUI is not required for process management, it can be completely closed
17. Core Engine Features:
    • Stand-alone capability
    • Only 1-3 MB of RAM used in typical cases
    • ProBalance automatically manages process priorities to improve system responsiveness and prevent freezes
    • Configure processes to always start at a desired priority and/or CPU affinity
    • Auto-terminate undesirable processes
    • Limit the number of instances a process can have
    • Fine tune NT scheduler settings with TweakScheduler
    • Fine-tune Vista Multimedia Scheduler with VistaMMSC
    • Written in C++ for all the performance benefits of native code.

Enhancements

• This version represents a major product overhaul. Virtually every function of the software has been improved. Several new features have also been added. One of the new features is the much requested CPU throttling, where a hard limit is imposed on the amount of CPU time a process can consume. Other new features include exclusions from foreground boosting, automatic game mode toggle, handle and thread counts, a thread management tab, and the ability to suspend/resume processes. ProBalance, along with the core engine in general, has also been tweaked to react more quickly. See the complete list of changes below. This has been bumped up a few version numbers to represent the magnitude of its revisions.
• Addition.Core: Added CPU throttling (both persistent and temporary). This applies a hard limit on the CPU time a process can consume. This is not meant to replace ProBalance and should be used only in certain, appropriate situations;
• Addition.Core.

Requirements:

• Windows 2000, XP, 2003, 2008, Vista, and 7 beta.
