Process Lasso is a unique new technology intended to automatically restrain running processes that are consuming too many CPU cycles. Often times, processes that are 'out-of-control' can bring an NT system to a near halt.

Once one or more processes have become CPU resource hogs, termination of the offending process(es) is very difficult since it is nearly impossible to even open the task manager. With Process Lasso, these processes are temporarily reduced in priority so that the system is returned to a responsive level. Unlike competing utilities, Process Lasso can work when multiple processes are responsible for a decrease in system responsiveness.

Process Lasso is a program that improves system responsiveness and stability.

Process Lasso acts when the total usage of all CPUs exceeds a configured threshold. When this threshold is exceeded, processes that exceed another configured threshold for a set amount of time are temporarily lowered in priority.

In addition, Process Lasso offers capabilities such as default process priorities, termination of disallowed processes, and logging of processes executed.

Process Lasso is very efficient and itself consumes very little CPU usage. The core engine, called the Process Governor, is seperated from the GUI so that one can completely close the GUI and keep the primary functions of Process Lasso operating. The core engine can even be run as a system service so that it starts before any user is logged in.

Although Process Lasso is NOT a task manager replacement, it does offer some task manager like capabilities to help compliment its core functions.

Here are some key features of "Process Lasso":

· Automatically temporarily lower the priority of processes consuming too many CPU cycles.
· Unique system responsiveness calculation and graph.
· Processes that currently have the focus can be boosted in priority.
· Assuming proper set-up, Process Lasso does not interfere with normal operations, like some other utilties may.
· Background engine can run without the GUI and as a system service.
· Default priorities can be set for specific processes.
· Disallowed processes can be terminated.
· Executed processes can be logged.
· Processes can be configured to start at boot, or not.
· And much, much more..
