    There's some truth to that, but I can't afford a new laptop right now :cautious:

    As I said before: ProcessLasso is not only ProBalance! Just one of many useful features is configuring "disallowed processes" where you can enter unwanted processes that should be always immediately killed when trying to run. Let's see in the screenshot what I have configured since a long time and compare it with the text-quote above. :cool:

    And a bit off-topic here: YES, I was outraged when I saw Avira wants to implement their horrible toolbar now even on systems of paying (suite) customers (not mine, I am using right now only WRSA). Sure you can uncheck that unwanted ask-junk during installation but many people won't do because they don't know it better.

    Well, on my system it would be killed by PL I guess should I decide to install Avira some day for testing etc. - So bad luck Avira infecting me with crappy toolbars. :p (And yes, you have also to check the firewall rules for other crap they want to let through by default!)

    Re: Will I benefit from Process Laso on my high end laptop?

    Is this program free or paid version is better?
    I'd like a program that can set "steam.exe" in lowest priority by default...

    Would be very strange if the free version were better, right? :D

    If you want to know the differences between Process Lasso paid and free you could take a look here.

    That should be possible with PL but I don't have or know "steam.exe" so you have to try it.
    If it doesn't work and you think it should just ask the author

    Re: Will I benefit from Process Laso on my high end laptop?

    You can set process priority within the task manager.!
    I didnt realise there was a free version.(probably limited).

    Disallowed processes.?...again this can be done manually via the task manager.
    Seems strange there would be processes running that need disallowing!:eek:
    Im sorry but i fail to see anything in this program that i cant do manually myself.
    Regards.:thumb:

    Of course you can. But does it stay after reboot? - If this should not be the case, PL will help you with that (while running of course).

    Well, you don't seem to realize very much in general. :rolleyes: - "Probably limited" means that you didn't even care to open that link.

    And how do you do that? - You mean manually "killing" processes? That's a different thing as you might not even know that a process is running that you don't want to.

    To me it seems strange that you like posting all the time without even care to read or understand what it is about you are "answering"!? - The word troll is quite accurate I guess. :D

    I showed you in a picture examples of what could be disallowed to run.

    I am sorry too. For you and your constant failings. :D

    Re: Will I benefit from Process Laso on my high end laptop?

    Its called being objective.
    If i dont praise the product like a blind fanboy then im accused of being a troll?:eek:

    I must apologise but i dont quite see things the way you do.
    Anyway i dont feel this is a product that most users will need.
    Comodo killswitch is free and that also can be used to control processes.

    Anyway what is the objective of controlling processes.
    Its best just to leave windows as it is when you purchase instead of tweaking(tampering).
    Just because i have a difference of opinion on a product does not mean i am a troll and i resent the accusation.
    Regards.:thumb:

    Re: Will I benefit from Process Laso on my high end laptop?

    No. It's called being a moron, sorry. :rolleyes: - You have a very strong opinion. All the time. Often - as you said before! - just because you have READ something! :rolleyes: Not because you have own experience, knowledge verified by yourself or any understanding of the matter at all.o_O

    And that stupid (objective is not the right word here!) opinion you do defend even if you risk to look always as the total fool that you obviously are. - You seem to like that, so by any means continue. :D

    No. You are a troll because a human being couldn't be as dense as you try to make us believe you are. Also you show any other sign you identify a troll.

    No you don't. - You have a right to let all others know that you have no clue at all. :thumb: Maybe you are a musician, but you have no knowledge at all regarding computers from what I have read. What you blabber about are all things you read (probably) here on that very same forum. I remember you from the start asking one dumb question after another. :rolleyes:

    If you really are that dense .. well then my apologies and my condolence!

    Who cares what you feel?!? See. That is the problem. You always/often have opinions noone ever asked for. I try to answer people with real questions, try to help them. You want to defend your (mostly stupid) opinion, making troll business. That is very annoying, especially you mislead people all the time.

    So are you then a fanboy of Commodo? :D

    Minutes ago you talked about how taskmanager could all do that. Now you come up with some other software. - And as you may have forgotten already because you fail to realize anything - PL is also free.

    See. You don't have a clue. And since you are too dense to get anything (or maybe just playing troll) I won't waste my time with you on that, sorry.

    Yeah!!! :argh: That's what you have read (here on this forum somewhere) and which is now your mantra.:rolleyes: Whereever it belongs (or not, like regarding PL!) you will utter this nonsense again and again and feel great doing it, being part of the community. You think.

    If it weren't so sad I could ROFL right now!

    No. The thing is: you clearly have no own opinion! Not based on any facts. Based only on things you once READ and TOOK as a fact! - You can resent what you want. Everyone sees that your are either a (bad) troll or really dumb. Choose whatever you like. :D

    And well, I am not a fanboy of ANY software! Fanboy means you defend that because it is your whole world (apple people come to mind) and no matter what the facts are: the thing is "god".

    What I don't like are people like you who are telling total utter nonsense about software that really is cool and useful, just because they can and everbody is letting them. - Criticize software (not in general but in detail!) as much as you want and bring real arguments that you get while using something (no, not drugs please! :D ) on your own, if you are not talking BS then I might even support you in that! - But if you are simply trolling around like you do, be prepared to get dismantled all the time. :D

    I thought I might as well list these here for those who have doubts or misconceptions on what Process Lasso does..

    http://bitsum.com/docs/pl/faq.htm

    http://bitsum.com/about_probalance.php

    Why didn't Microsoft design the Windows CPU Scheduler 'just right' and handle these high load scenarios better? [for skeptics]

    You can also find Research and links (external and internal)
    http://bitsum.com/about_probalance.php#links

    I particularly found the links to Linux scheduler interesting.

    Inside the Linux scheduler:
    http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-scheduler/

    The Linux Process Scheduler:
    http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=101760

    If you ask me, the author/developer of Process Lasso, Jeremy Collake knows his stuff. You can read more technical details on the following links:

    http://processpriority.com/
    http://bitsum.com/pl_when_cpu_affinity_matters.php
    http://bitsum.com/about_turbocore_turboboost.php

    Something people who are evaluating Process Lasso can try is opening the UI to the "active processes" tab and also observing the the "actions log". This shows the adjustments Process Lasso is making in real time and can make it easier to see the effect on applications.

    Me too, and attempting to change this using the Options\General Settings\Reconfigure the way Process Lasso starts option does not seem to help. :(

    Hopefully JC will spot this and investigate. :D

    One should just run Process Lasso with the default configuration - it doesn't speed up a computer but it does allocate various processes more efficiently than Windows does so you'll see considerable improvement in how it runs. The free version is more sufficient for most people. :thumb:
