Process Lasso is a unique new technology that will, amongst other things, improve your PC's responsiveness and stability. Windows, by design, allows programs to monopolize your CPU without restraint -- leading to freezes and hangs. Process Lasso's ProBalance technology intelligently adjusts the priority of running programs so that badly behaved programs won't interfere with your ability to use the computer!
Changelog:
- Addition.Core: Added CPU throttling (both persistent and temporary).
This applies a hard limit on the CPU time a process can consume. This is not
meant to replace ProBalance (process balance) and should be used only in
certain, appropriate situations

foreground boosting
- Addition.Core: Added automatic game mode entry for user specified
processes
- Addition.Core: Added pathname to process launch log events
- Addition.GUI: Added to the graph CPU history of currently selected
process(es)

boosting
