What Process Lasso is not!

First of all you must understand that Process Lasso does allow automatic process utilization, but in order to get maximum benefit you will have to decide for yourself which core to assign to what process. How does one determine that is difficult to say, as this depends on the programs and the tasks that you do on your computer. E.g. If you are decompressing a compressed zip/rar file, one entire core will be dedicated to that process. If this is the same core that explorer.exe is using currently then obviously your PC will slow down. Therefore you will need to be alert to have the forethought of switching the core. This is the reason why this program is not for everyone but only for the experienced technically inclined users.

Also do not expect incredible speed boosts/computer responsiveness as this depends purely on the task at hand, e.g. decompressing a file is a CPU intensive task no doubt but it is also a hard-disk intensive task at the same time, therefore the speed increase or responsiveness does not depend on CPU alone but rather the entire system.

Thirdly, Process Lasso does not use easy to understand terminology, terms such as processor affinity, process restraint settings etc aren't exactly friendly terms and can get quite confusing. On top of that, the help section exists on the website is not the best but it's adequate for those who understand technical stuff, laymen would only get further confused. This is generally the case with user created applications, being said that the application itself is great. To give where credit is due, the author has taken a lot of effort to make balloon pop-ups where required to help understand the software better.

Fourthly Process Lasso is not an attempt to replace Task Manager. That job happily System internals Process Explorer can do which Microsoft bought over.

What Process Lasso can do

The interface is straightforward, displays all currently running processes as well as a graph with CPU usage and responsiveness. Just like Windows Task Manager you can see the list of all processes detailed activity such as working set memory, commit size, priority, CPU affinity (which core it is utilizing), CPU usage, location, etc.
