for me, it’s usefull at work.
thx

And I played with this few days ago just for the heck of it, has major bugs on Vista x64, barely usable at all. Ditto to Process Lasso doing this better and more.

I also think apps like this are a little naive. It's not like we use 486 cpu's anymore so any gains are negligible and maybe detrimental in some cases. Windows priority management is pretty good as far as I can tell, leave it too it and get on with something worthwhile.

It confuses DirectX and can create bunch of seemingly unrelated problems such as keyboard lag. Advice for gamers – stay away from apps that change process priorities.

I've tried 'Mz Cpu Accelerator'. Problems arise when active application -- powered to high or above normal cpu priority -- is in a context where it should free some cycles and not grab them : this scheme is handled by 'Process Lasso", not by 'Mz Cpu Accelerator'. Not worth, try in a cpu solicitated context with less than a 2GHz core and you'll remove it. Process Lasso does this and much more, requires half less RAM.
