Process Lasso 3.65.9 Beta / 3.64.3
Process Lasso is an outstanding modern technology which will, amongst other things, enhance your PCs responsiveness and stability. more>>
Process Lasso 3.65.9 Beta / 3.64.3 is an outstanding modern technology which will, amongst other things, enhance your PC's responsiveness and stability. Windows, by design, allows programs to monopolize your CPU without restraint -- leading to freezes and hangs. Process Lasso's ProBalance (Process Balance) technology intelligently adjusts the priority of running programs so that badly behaved or overly active processes won't interfere with your ability to use the computer!
Process Lasso also offers an assortment of ways to take full control of how your CPUs are allocated to running programs. You can choose at what priority processes should run, and which CPUs should be assigned to them. You can also disallow certain programs from running, log all programs run, keep programs running, and SO much more.
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 and prevent stalls in high load situations.
Process Lasso is written in native C++, not .NET. This means it consumes very few system resources - considerably less than any similar software. Furthermore, the process management engine is independent from the GUI. This means it can run without the graphical interface (GUI).
Major Features:
- General Features:
- Prevent processes from monopolizing the CPU(s)
- ProBalance dynamic priority optimization
- Apply persistent priorities and CPU affinities
- Foreground boosting
- Limit number of program instances
- Disallow programs from running
- Keep processes running (auto-restart)
- Unique system responsiveness graph
- Stand-alone process management engine
- Extremely low resource use
- Prevent PC sleep for designated processes
- Enter High Performance power scheme for designated processes
- Differentiate between svchost.exe instances
- Event logging
- Graphical Interface Features
- Basic task manager capabilities for convienence
- Displays per-process CPU history
- Change process settings and rules
- Act on multiple processes at once
- System tray icon with notifications
- Almost no resource consumption when minimized
- Does its job without fancy graphics to dazzle you

Process Supervisor 2.341
Improve system responsiveness and stability in high load situations. more>> This software was renamed as "Process Lasso".
Process Lasso improves system responsiveness and stability in high load situations. It applies user defined rules to running processes to improve system performance, responsiveness, and stability by temporarily restraining out-of-control processes, defaulting specific processes to certain priorities, terminating unallowed processes, and more. In addition, the graphical user interface allows for manual viewing and manipulation of running processes, including module and handle enumeration. Process Lasso is *NOT* a task manager replacement, though it does have some task manager like capabilities as a compliment to its core functions.<<less

SMP Seesaw Pro 1.0
Control how Windows balances load of multi-CPU or multi-core computers more>>
SMP Seesaw Pro provides a convenient means to change the processor affinities for all running programs at once. In particular, the most common use is to dedicate one of your processors to a single program, thereby improving the performance or responsiveness of that program.
Full-screen games, software-based DVD playback, PVR programs like SageTV and BeyondTV, and VMware are examples of applications that might benefit from having exclusive access to one of your CPUs. Of course, not all programs would benefit: multi-threaded programs that are designed to take full advantage of several processors would actually be impeded. However, relatively few desktop applications are designed like this.
Main features:
- Support for up to 32 CPUs
- Control processor affinities for system services
- Programmatic interface for C/C++, Visual Basic, Windows Scripting Host (JScript and VBScript), etc.
Note: SMP Seesaw Pro has a considerably more complicated user interface to support these features. If you have two processors/cores, use of the regular version of SMP Seesaw is recommended, because it is easier to use.

Performance Tools Kit 4.1.1
Measure and analyze system and application performance more>> Measure and analyze system and application performance
The Windows Performance Tools (WPT) Kit contains performance analysis tools that are new to the Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5. The WPT Kit is useful to a broad audience, including system builders, hardware manufacturers, driver developers, and general application developers. These tools are designed for measuring and analyzing system and application performance on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and later.
The tools currently include an xperf trace capture tool, an xperfview visualization tool (also known as Performance Analyzer), and an xbootmgr boot trace capture tool. The tools are designed for the analysis of a wide range of performance problems including application start times, boot issues, deferred procedure calls and interrupt activity (DPCs and ISRs), system responsiveness issues, application resource usage, and interrupt storms. The MSIs containing these tools are available in the SDK bin directory (one per architecture).
The tools use a trace capture and analysis model that follows this general flow:
- ETW tracing is enabled by using xperf.
- Operations are performed.
- ETW tracing is disabled by using xperf, and the data is saved to an ETL trace file.
- Trace files can then be further processed by using xperf or viewed by using Performance Analyzer (xperfview).
One of the great features of ETW, supported in WPT, is the support of symbol decoding, sample profiling, and capture of call stacks on kernel events. These features provide very detailed views into the system operation. WPT also supports automated testing. Specifically, xperf is designed for scripting from the command line and can be employed in automated performance gating infrastructures. xperf can also dump the trace data to an ANSI text file, which allows you to write your own trace processing tools that can look for performance problems and regressions from previous tests.
Enhancements:
- Windows Performance Analyzer does not start when double-clicking an ETL file.
- Windows Performance Analyzer does not perform power state transition analysis.

CacheSet 1.0
CacheSet is an applet which helps you manipulate the working-set parameters of the system file cache more>>
Use CacheSet to performance tune the system Cache size in a way not possible without tweaking internal variables the way CacheMan does.
Note: To use CacheSet on NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 and later you must have the "Increase Quota" privilege (administrator accounts have this privilege by default). CacheSet has been updated to enable this privilege so that it works on SP4.
CacheSet uses a NtQuerySystemInformation call to obtain information about the Caches settings and NtSetSystemInformation to set new sizing information. The working-set information for a process serves as guidelines for NTs Memory Manager regarding how many pages of physical memory should be assigned to the application. Because they are guidelines, conditions can result such that the Memory Manager grows a working-set to a size greater than the maximum, or shrinks it to less than the minimum. However, the settings are factors that will affect the overall allocation, and hence responsiveness, of an application. In the case of CacheSet the application is the file system Cache.
Internally NtSetSystemInformation calls MmAdjustWorkingSetSize, which either grows an applications working set or trims it. If the third parameter passed to MmAdjustWorkingSetSize is 1, the system Caches working set is adjusted, otherwise the adjustment occurs on the current process (the system information calls affect only the system cache). Passing in a minimum and maximum of -1 causes MmAjustWorkingSetSize to perform a working-set clear operation, releasing all pages from the applications working set.
