Process Lasso

- https://bitsum.com/

Real-Time CPU Optimization and Automation

"Process Lasso is Windows process automation and optimization software.
From tuning algorithms like ProBalance to user-created rules and
persistent settings such as CPU affinities and priority classes, Process
Lasso gives you complete control over running applications!

Our novel ProBalance algorithm helps maintain system responsiveness
during high CPU loads by dynamically adjusting the priorities of running programs to keep problematic background processes in check. With
ProBalance, no longer will single, or multiple, processes be able to
bring your system to a virtual stall. Process Lasso will let you keep interacting with your computer, even when it is under a heavy CPU load.
Try our CPUEater Demo to experience ProBalance for yourself.

Process Lasso also allows users to automate and tweak how applications
are run through a number of unique and helpful functions. These include persistent priority classes, persistent CPU affinities, disallowed
processes, per-process power profiles, a process watchdog for advanced
rules, process instance count limits, multiple instance balancing and
much more!

Process Lasso is the ultimate Windows CPU affinity changer. The CPU
affinity specifies the set of CPU cores an application is able to
execute on. With Process Lasso, you can control this with a persistent
setting that applies every time the application is run, or change it dynamically while the application is running once a threshold is met.
The CPU affinity is commonly changed to limit CPU use or improve
performance.

Many additional functions such as power plan automation, a system responsiveness metric and process activity logging are also available.

These features give you the ability to control how programs utilize your computer’s resources based on automatically applied settings. With
Process Lasso, you can decide exactly how you want your processes to run.

For minimal resource use, all algorithms and process rules are enforced
by a stand-alone background service called the Process Governor. The GUI
is entirely optional."

I played around with this about 5 to 7 years ago. No improvement in performance per benchmarks (and real-world gain would be even more imperceptible).

Back then, it was free, or I choose the free version instead of paying
for the Pro version. Since the free version didn't bring any wow factor
to my PC, I didn't see keeping it nor paying for Pro features that I
probably wouldn't use. A comparison of free vs paid is at:

I chuckled at the last entry in the table under the Free column:

Everything Else ..... Maybe

https://bitsum.com/changes/processlasso/ shows many version changes
since I last trialed the product eons ago, so maybe it might add some performance to my desktop PC, but I suspect not. What gains I'd achieve
would likely be too small for me to care, or notice, and mostly be a
waste of my time in repeatedly tweaking it to see what worked best.
