Process Lasso is a unique new technology intended to automatically adjust the allocation of CPU cycles so that system responsiveness is improved in high-load situations. It does this by dynamically temporarily lowering the priorities of processes that are consuming too many CPU cycles, there-by giving other processes a chance to run if they are in need. This is useful for both single and multi-core processors. No longer will a single process be able to bring your system to a virtual stall.

Changelog:

• Addition.Core: Added new functionality to limit the number of instances a process can have per user session.
• Fix.Core: Improved handling of cases where unexpected results come from the NT kernel, usually indicating a rootkit or other kernel-level hooking.
• Fix.Core: Fixed improper handling of cases where syntactical errors were present in the default process priorities (they would attempt to be applied anyway, in contrast to the error shown).
• Change.Core: Some memory optimizations.
• Change.Core: Some minor CPU optimizations.
• Change.Core: Improved efficiency of COM components calls.
• Addition.GUI: Added config dialog for new feature to limit the number of instances a process can have per-session.
• Addition.GUI: Added new log toggle for terminations due to instance limit.
• Change.GUI: Make 'buy now' button initially not visible.
• Change.GUI: Config dialogs no longer ask to save changes when close button hit if no changes were made.
• Change.GUI: Made default button on the process list config dialogs the 'Add' button so you don't accidentally close the dialog by hitting enter.
• Change.All: Changed compiler optimization settings.
• Change.Defaults: ProBalance priority restorations (end of restraint) events are now logged by default.
• Installer.Change: Upgraded to NSIS 2.40
