When it comes to PC Optimization, images of snake-oil and con-men often come to mind, and indeed the problem of fraudulent or misleading software is pervasive in this genre and many other software genres. Bitsum does optimization along with much more, like automation. We never did it the classical way — You know, registry cleaners and […]

This version improves the performance of Process Lasso itself, reducing it’s already negligible CPU use, and fixes an important interoperability issue with MalwareBytes Anti-Ransomware BETA* where excessive CPU consumption would be seen. This is a back-port from the v9 branch so has minimal other changes, as we continue to keep the v8 branch stable as possible. *(stressed […]

Since these newer Intel processors take over control of core parking from the OS, they have different power management options. As we work to fully support the latest hardware, we’ve created a .REG file to unhide these options. The most important, arguably, is the basic ON/OFF switch to either use ‘autonomous’ core parking controlled by […]

This version of ParkControl adds Bitsum Dynamic Boost. This is similar to Process Lasso’s IdleSaver technology in that it drops the PC down to a more conservative power plan on idle, but different in that when the PC is active, it forces it into the Bitsum Highest Performance power plan. It is made for those who want […]
Read more Process Lasso v8.9.8.42 While we work on releasing a wild new ParkControl with Bitsum Dynamic Boost, not to mention uProBalance Stand Alone, we found the time to update the release Process Lasso v8 branch. Enjoy! Changes: 8.9.8.42 Fix Core Fix a ‘greater than or less than’ inversion in a particular advanced process watchdog rule. 8.9.8.42 […]

The extraordinary thing about the Intel Skylake (6xxx) generation of CPUs are the changes in power management. As I’ve noted before, much of the real-time power management is moved to the hardware, making it much more efficient. When the OS was responsible for managing core parking, it just couldn’t do it well enough, hence utilities […]

I often find users under the misconception that they can find a way to put all those unused CPU cycles they see to work. I don’t mean at idle, I mean during CPU loads. Some think Process Lasso can do this for them, and I hate to tell them that it can’t. They are understandably […]

We get the question “What does this icon mean?” often, so thought it time to properly document the latest icon sets we are using. Note that if you let Windows hide your system tray icons, you may never see any of these. I’ve documented the icons here, but will copy that content below as well. Did […]

100% Freeware Downloads: ParkControl 32-bit ParkControl 64-bit This release of ParkControl makes a big addition – even though it’s just a small hyper-link toggle on the GUI. That addition is: Users can install or uninstall the ‘Bitsum Highest Performance‘ power plan. This pre-configured power profile maximizes CPU performance by disabling CPU core parking and frequency scaling, […]
