Advice Request Process Lasso

[ng4ever]

Is it mostly snake oil or does it really work ?

Process Lasso is great for relieving the stress off of processes, resulting in a more stable and responsive system. I have seen many beneficial thing's come from Process Lasso, so I'll obviously side with it working quite well, rather than it being snake oil. I say give it test run yourself, to see how you can benefit from it.

As an end note, I highly recommend it.

There is a free version and a pro version.

There is a free version and a pro version.

Why is the Pro version better. I saw the graph with the compared feature differences. How Free Is Free?

 

[Tyrizian]

Pro will have more tweaking options, more automated features, better process control, customer support and much more, but if none of those matter to you, you can get by just fine with the free version.

IMHO this one is not snake oil, it is worth a look for sure.

Simply one of my must-have software.

Nope, not a snake oil however you need to be cautious since its a powerful tool to change the performance of your system.

I used it on Win 7 before the upgrade. Good management of processes and resources, certainly better than Windows default. Now on Windows 10, to be honest, I haven't noticed big differences with/without It, but anyway, it is a valid software for sure.

looks like good idea, but the thing that kills my system responsiveness more than anything is disk usage.
is there anything to control that?

PL offers an ability to change "I/O Priority", but I think the dev would discourage less experienced people from using it.
You should consider an HDD defragmentation for disk optimization.
If you like, buy and use SSD.

what is I/O Priority, and how does it affect system responsiveness?
I am not planning on messing with it, I'm just curious.

I don't know exactly how it works. Since it's about I/O, then it should be about hard disk drive. I think that option is for the system to allocate more or less time to the targeted processes. It may or may not affect general system responsiveness, and the outcome may or may not be good. That's why the dev would generally tell users to stick with the default setting to avoid any problems.
