Konkurs!/Giveaway! - Process Lasso Pro

[ORGANIZAT0R]

Tym razem do wygrania 5 licencji na Process Lasso Pro. Licencje pochodzą od producenta.
Tym razem zasady nieco inne

Process Lasso jest wyjątkowym programem przeznaczonym do zarządzania procesami w naszym systemie Windows. Dzięki Process Lasso bez problemu ustalimy priorytety dla poszczególnych procesów obciążających system. Process Lasso przez cały czas działa w tle i monitoruje wszystkie procesy w systemie i w przypadku gdy któryś z procesów zużywa zbyt wiele zasobów procesora powodując przy tym spowolnienie lub „przycinanie” systemu to automatycznie obniża jego priorytet, dzięki temu odzyskujemy kontrole nad naszym komputerem, a wszystkie programy działają bez żadnego spowolnienia.


Process Lasso pozwala także całkowicie wyłączać zabronione procesy z wczesniej utworzonej listy, na przykład różnego rodzaju złośliwe oprogramowanie które często nie da się wyłączyć za pomocą menadżera zadań. Dużą zaletą Process Lasso jest również to że sam nie zużywa wiele zasobów i nie wpływa tym samym na szybkość komputera. Obsługa programu jest bardzo prosta dzięki Polskiej wersji językowej oraz czytelnemu menu programu z graficznymi wykresami.

Zasady konkursu:
1. Aby otrzymać jedną z licencji napisz komentarz o Process Lasso Pro. Ja wybiorę 5 najciekawszych komentarzy.
2. Komentarz w języku Polskim lub Angielskim.
3. Zakończenie konkursu odbędzie się 10.09.2012

Competition rules:
1. In order to win one of the licenses on the line, you are expected to come up with a smart comment about Process Lasso Pro. I will choose the five most interesting comments.
2. Comment in Polish or English.
3. Completion of the contest will be held on 10.09.2012

W konkursie może uczestniczyć każdy użytkownik.

Thanks for the nice contest. Process Lasso Pro is great app to prevent that some processes take to much CPU power, what can make other processes/apps freezing. Would like to have license for this great app.
Best regards

Nie tak dawno był w promocji ten program. Otrzymałem klucz drogą mailową i już kilkakrotnie próbowałem wersję darmową uaktywnić do Pro i nigdy mi się to nie udało. Kończy się to zwykle tym, że odinstalowuję program ponieważ nie ma on pełnej funkcjonalności. Nie odkryłem jego wszystkich możliwości i funkcji i trochę się zraziłem do tej nie działającej licencji. Bardzo bym chciał żeby producent programu przekonał mnie, że warto tego programu używać ale ten nie dał mi tej szansy. Pozdrawiam
PS.Dziwne bo dziś otrzymałem mailem nowe dane mojego konta i klucz aktywujący i wersja professional zadziałała, chociaż tylko połowicznie bo bez możliwości aktualizacji. Co znaczy potęga słowa pisanego...
Drugie PS. I stał się cud mam nawet prawo do aktualizacji , ale mam jeszcze komputer żony i nie rezygnuję z udziału w konkursie
Pozdrawiam

Process Lasso is a wonderful program that can optimize your running programs. Process Lasso uses Microsoft API to optimize its priority so its really safe to run in your system. Process Lasso can be used out of the box but if you read the documentation, you can tweak its settings as you wish.

Some of my tips:
1. If you run programs in the program, lets say you scrape or test a set of proxies to the background. Add it to watchdog and change its cpu affinity to other cores. Don't change the cpu priorities because it will slow that finish its task.
2. Exclude process if needed. Just right click on the process in the main UI and then exclude from restraint.
3. If you have a program that constantly crash, include it in "keep running" so that it automatically restart.
4. Games is process intensive so be sure to include it in "classify as a game".

I know there are so many option in this powerful software. The main cons here is the interface. Just take time to read the documentation and its really easy to use.

Thanks for the giveaway!

My current system is W7 PRO 64-bit, 4Gb RAM, Intel i5-2.53Ghz–Don’t be surprised as to why I still require Process Lasso with this config..lol. If you have more than 150 Mozilla tabs, or downloading a video using Vdownloader, or are working on a 100 page word document, or have 15 Chrome tabs open, and have a virtual XP OS running in VMware- You NEED Process Lasso.

The installation is pretty simple and it allows you to choose how Process Lasso should start up and instruct it to handle the processes of the current computer user/all users.

The interface of Lasso has remained the same since version 3. The real-time graph in the upper part of the interface gives a very quick visual health of your system with respect to: Processor Use, Responsiveness, Process Restraint and Memory Load.

This is useful not only on low end computers, but also in multi-core environment, when the load is high. You may argue what could Lasso do when one is already have a multicore processor such as Intel i5 or i9. For those having multicore the CPU affinity feature is very useful wherein users can limit programs to specific CPUs – keeping the others free for use by other processes. See below how I could assign/remove CPU affinity for a process:



The Core optimization technologiesinclude default priority classes, default CPU affinities, disallowed processes, keep running processes, per-process power schemes, a process watchdog, and process

instance count limits. Using these you will have better control on how the programs should utilize your computer’s resources effectively and leverage best utilization of multicore. For example, you could choose on what CPUs/cores a process should run, as well as what their CPU priority class and I/O priority class should be.

Another multicore (real/logical core) feature in Lasso is HyperThreaded Core Avoidance. This feature was made available only in Process Lasso v5, and helps you reap the benefits of HyperThreading feature of your processor.

Let us talk about another great feature which was refined in version 5- “Default Power Profiles / Power Profiles per process”. Microsoft have already provided some power schemes in Windows using which you could set a particular power profile for your system. But using Process Lasso you could do even better. Now it is feasible to switch back-and-forth between power profiles based on processes.

Yes, with Lasso when the specified processes are started, you can automatically switch to a particular power profile. When the process closes, Lasso would automatically revert back to the previous profile. Again all power profiles, even custom ones, are supported.

Additionally, the Energy Saver profile introduced with version 5.1 allows you to save electricity without compromising performance. Here, Lasso switches to a lower power profile when you are idle, thus saving power/electricity. Once active, the profile is switched back to the original profile.

You could access Energy Saver from Options>Power. It is disabled by default.



It might seem to you that Process Lasso is not designed for a novice user, but I would say that you install & then forget about it. Once installed, it never bothers you. It keeps working on its own, without requiring any input(s) from you. DO NOT get frightened with the list of options provided in the menu. Truly speaking, I never changed the default settings ever.

My experience with Lasso has been great, and since 2010 I have been recommending Process Lasso to one & all.

The Good:

1. Small setup file and quick installation

2. Install & FORGET about it. It does not require anything. Works good with the default settings.

3. Could be installed for either only current user or All Users.

4. Nice GUI/interface

5. Very good support/response from Developer

6. Continuous improvements & availability of new versions.

7. Separate installer for 64-bit OS.

8. Works good on both 32 as well as 64-bit OS. Tried on 32-bit XP, 64-bit W7.

9. DOES NOT interferes with antivirus, security suites – whatever the case may be

10. Has PRObalance & Gaming modes – adjusts the CPU in case we are playing FULL screen games or one/more working applications require more CPU. All this without freezing!!

11. Updates are available from both the website (support section using your login/password) and from within the program GUI>Updates.

12. Fully utilizes my i5 processor due to CPU intensive applications/programs – using its ‘ProBalance’ technology. I was able to check this while monitoring the CPU usage from “All CPU Meter” Gadget on W7.

13. Has 2 tabs -one for all running processes & other for just currently active process.

14. Provides almost every information on the process such as: name, user, associated-application, file/path, priority, CPU usage, memory usage, status, CPU affinity and a lot more. You could choose to select what you want to view.

15. Available options for processes include: terminate, set priority/CPU, power scheme and others. I have used some of these and it always worked fine for me. If you are not aware please DO NOT mess up.

16. Ability to import/export the configurations for future/reuse.

17. It has 16 languages. So it’s Multi-lingual.

18. The offline help file which describes things in PLAIN ENGLISH


Please count me in.

Thanks,
Grr
