Process Tamer 2.09.01

System tray util that reduces priority of high-cpu usage processes There are many times when a process will hog your cpu, such as when converting audio/video files, or working with compressed archives.
Because these processes completely consume the cpu, your system becomes sluggish to respond and using the computer for other tasks becomes impossible while these processes are running.
Process Tamer will solve this problem by identifying such degenerate conditions and temporarily reduces the priority of the offending processes in order to allow your system to respond to other requests. Stop being a victim to an overloaded cpu - let Process Tamer keep your system responsive no matter what youre doing.
Youll see a baloon tooltip in your system tray whenever Process Tamer adjusts or restores the priority of an application, so youll always know what its doing and why.
There are times when you probably wont want Process Tamer to change process priorities, such as when playing games or if you are burning a cd/dvd on a slow computer; just double click its icon to toggle it on and off.
