For those of you who have used our .REG files to show core parking settings, we are switching to recommending use of powercfg.exe. Turns out it has a nice command line option that is much more reliable. The registry settings work to show, but once shown, you can’t hide them again without these commands. Thus, there […]

Starting in CPUBalance v0.0.9.39 (BETA) and Process Lasso v9.0.0.101 (ALPHA), we have a new ‘Frequency of ProBalance Action’ metric to indicate how often a process is restrained. It is basically this: total_runtime / count_of_restraints This new metric lets you know how frequently a process is acted on WHEN it is running. Some processes run all […]

Absolutely you do! More than ever! We never sold that old ‘XP style’ optimization crud here at Bitsum, so we remain relevant, increasingly so. Process Lasso is as relevant, if not more, on newer processors than older. If you were to uninstall, most everyone then realizes the difference it was making! … and at the very […]

Long ago, I included an early version of ParkControl in Process Lasso – buried deep in it’s menus and rarely used. Ever since then, I’ve been trying to remove it, but get met with resistance when I do. Why would I remove it? Well, because it is now a distinct application, ParkControl. And it is 99% free. […]

We’ve added a page about one of our classic Bitsum freeware utilities, TweakScheduler. It has long been included with Process Lasso. You can reach it via ‘Options / External Tools‘. This is just one of many of our freeware utilities that have yet to be fully integrated into this new web site. TweakScheduler

RegMerge is a simple freeware project I developed many years ago. I saw that importing .REG files was a ‘blind’ process and wanted to improve upon it, and did so. Lately, RegMerge got some exposure after a few site edits, so suddenly it was ‘in use’. Now, it continues to remain in ALPHA status because there […]

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 […]
Read more 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 […]
