Increase your system responsiveness 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.

Ever used task manager and found it lacking? 5 stars by JoWazzoo
Try Process Lasso ("PL"). This is one kewl app. The only area I did not rate as Excellent is Ease of Use. PL itself is fairly easy to use per se. The problem is you are dealing with a very complex area - the innards of your machine. An average user likely would not be drawn to either Task Manager or PL. Then again, they say "boy I wish I could" and fail to find out that they usually can - if they did a bit of leg work. One of the main uses I have for PL is forensics related to malware. It can assist you in determining that you have been had by a nasty! On a day to day basis, I use it to control regular apps that have gone off the deep-end. One of its key strengths is the ability to terminate an app when your system is in free fall. PL is nearly unique, but fills a niche. It does have a fairly steep learning curve, but is well worth it. Unlike some apps it actually is both useful and can assist you to learn about the inner wrongs of your CPU and RAM. showShow review details
Task manager on steroids 4 stars by Davoid (Read all my 7 reviews)
Title tells the story. Although the Lasso program uses some resources it more than makes up for that in it's own management plus your custom needs! A must for Win2k as setting priority will NOT stick like XP or Vista... showShow review details
Tried and it died 2 stars by gimpguy (Read all my 655 reviews)
I tried this on my wife's pc, her pc needs some constant tuning, however, all this did was slow the pc down even more. I thought, ok, a fluke so installed it on my son's pc and mine, same thing, slowed down even more. Just as bad as using a ram optimizer, 9 out of 10, they work against what you are trying to accomplish. No thanks, I'll leave well enough alone. showShow review details
