Process Lasso improves system performance, responsiveness, and stability during high loads through dynamic adjustments to process priority classes. It can also automatically terminate undesired processes, apply default priorities and CPU affinities to processes, limit the number of instances a process can have, and log all processes. It is not a task manager replacement, but does have task manager like capabilities to compliment its primary functions.
Process Lasso is free for home and academic use, though there are some tolerable nags for the Pro build shown after the product has been installed an extended period. The free build is not in any way crippled. Commercial use requires purchase within 14 days of evaluation. Despite being free for home use, it is now classified as Shareware to prevent any user confusion or complaints.

Hah, yeah, it's a placebo, except that, uhh, it isn't. When my CPU is cranked and PL kicks in and puts the offending application in its place, it's not my imagination that tells me I can use my computer whereas without PL I wouldn't have been able to--it's my intelligence.

Great software !! Once you use it, you will never take it off your computer. And you will be checking for update often, as the developer is always improving the program with updates that are always timely.

This application is just like registry cleaners, the digital placebo industry.

Does it work? This is the question people ask me. The answer is :
Yes
I have an old system here, I provide it with 3 helps:
For Web : cFosSpeed
For RAM : Cleanmem
For CPU : Process Lasso
Overall is obvious.

This is a great version. Process Lasso is like computer crack--once you install it, you need it.
Basically, Process Lasso is a VERY VERY light weighted software. I have tried several other similar softwares, but they really cannot achieve what Process Lasso can achieve. Basically, Foreground Process Thread Priority Boost is unique, and cannot be found in other similar type of softwares. One software called "Process Priority Master" which claims itself to be the best, I have tried it myself but it's nothing but just a bloatware, a real example of bloatware. It takes like 30%+ CPU in the background all the time !!! Jeremy never claims his softwares are the best, because Jeremy has a good and professional attitude, which we all should learn from him. I can tell, no other similar softwares up to the current date, performs better than Process Lasso.
This software is NOT crippleware. 99% of the features in the Pro build are also in the free build. If you take the time to look, you will see this is true.
This program is crippleware. I would rather use a lesser program than a crippled program.
to your post us3r:
you rated the software with two and speak as if you never tried the software for yourself - talking only about that the price is too high for you to effort and not even mention a free alternative (cause there is no). I really wonder what those commends should cause, why and for what ?

Reviewing 3.45.4 Beta (Feb 4, 2009)
This program doesn't offer much more than similar tools which are completely free, yet author want almost 20$ for a copy whether you are commercial user or home user or student. The life time license doesn't speak to me since I remember the development of these application stopped like for two years around version 2.0.
