Process Lasso

Why is Process Lasso better than competing utilities?

Process Lasso was the first utility of its kind (that we know of). Originally named Process Supervisor, it has come a long way since its creation. We have made at least 4 major overhauls to the product, improving it substantially every time. We rewrite code until it's been perfected. We nitpick the performance of our code to the point of obsession. We've had plenty of time to properly research the modifications we're making to the system, and to evaluate the real-world effects of these changes. The optimizations performed by our software simply aren't duplicated anywhere else.

Some of the recent utilities that claim to offer improved system performance or responsiveness are just absurd. They come with flashy GUIs, written in a high level language for easy development, but maximum resource consumption. They do just enough to say that they are functional. Some of their algorithms have key mistakes that we know are dangerous. Their strategy is to create software that they can market well. They don't really care if it works or not, nor do they care about adding extra features and options. They just want the bare minimum required to generate sales.

Bitsum Technologies is different. We truly care about the quality of our software and about providing features users want and need. We are more interested in developing a quality product that works than we are selling licenses. Additionally, Bitsum Technologies activity involves our users in the development process. So, all our undertakings are influenced by our users. We are more like a community than a business.

The bottom line is that we KNOW you'll find Process Lasso more feature-rich, resource light, and effective than any competitors on the market. Don't take our word for it, try these products for yourselves.

Advantages of Process Lasso

Process Lasso and its core engine are written in native C++ using direct Windows APIs without any unnecessary abstraction layers (i.e. MFC). Most modern applications are written in .NET or Delphi, resulting in MUCH higher virtual memory and CPU utilization than Process Lasso.
Process Lasso has a stand-alone core engine to enforce process rules. This means it can run without the GUI, thereby further reducing resource consumption to almost nothing. Our core engine can even run as a system service. We were the first to offer this, and no competitor can match the efficiency of our core engine.
Process Lasso's GUI is very optimal and enters a sleeplike mode when minimized to the system tray. This allows it to be ready at a moments notice, but not consume resources while waiting.
Process Lasso's system responsiveness calculation can not be found anywhere else. We use a clever algorithm to determine just how responsive your system really is. We did NOT patent this algorithm because we have an ideological opposition to software patents. Yes, we don't mind giving this algorithm away to society.
Our algorithms are well tested and proven to be beneficial. Some applications don't care how effective they really are, but we do! We use our own software every day on every computer we have.
Process Lasso has many features not found anywhere else. There are so many, we won't even try to list them here.
TweakScheduler and Vista Multimedia Scheduler Configurator are included. These unique utilities are not found anywhere else.
Process Lasso can be freely used by home and academic users, though some tolerable nags may be shown after an extended period of time, and not all features may be available. That said, it is still very much free and can continue to be used indefinitely (no expiration).
Process Lasso is designed for, and well tested in, multiuser environments.
Process Lasso runs great on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 - as well as all NT Server editions of Windows (except NT4). We have made sure that we not only support the latest versions of Windows, but our software is designed FOR these newer versions of Windows.
We are the ONLY competitor to offer an x86-64bit build (AMD64, EMT64)
Process Lasso is availabile in many languages and can be easily translated into your native tongue.
