Process Lasso Pro 5.1
Process Lasso is not yet another task manager; it is a process, power, and CPU optimization and automation utility. One of Process Lasso's most popular features is a unique technology called ProBalance (Process Balance) that can improve your PC's responsiveness and stability.
Windows, by design, allows programs to monopolize your CPU without sufficient restraint -- leading to hangs and micro-lags. ProBalance intelligently adjusts the priorities of running programs on-demand so that badly behaved processes are less likely to negatively impact the responsiveness of your PC. It does this not by raising process priorities, but instead by temporarily lowering the priorities of background processes that may be interfering with PC responsiveness.
