The free version is still pretty useful by itself, and the pro version has some fairly niche uses, but, if you have those, this is as far as I know a pretty rare discount for the Pro app.

Along with Lossless Scaling, this is one of the few "optimisation" apps that actually does anything useful to your computer. Can auto trigger power plans for apps, restrict only particular apps from SMT or E-cores, isolate everything you ever run in Windows for all time from touching that one core that runs unstable or too hot, throttle out of control processes saving you from system hangs or poor responsiveness, etc.

Some of this can be done with a lot of farting around in group policy and task manager and registry and powershell with a big rube goldberg machine of stuff, but not all of it as easily or as automatically as with this.

  after 5 mins of browsing, I still quite work out what it actually does & what you'd use it for?

    Use cases:

    Some shitty extension in the shell or crash hangs the whole PC and maxes out everything to the max, causing big stutters in the foreground or for something else that needs to run smooth. This has automatic restraint options that can help stop that or at least give you enough responsiveness to task manage it to stop.

    You have a PC with more cores than good single threaded performance and things run better if you stop things from occupying or ever interrupting cores 0/1, or make some apps run on one CCX only, or just anything you don't explicitly want running wild whereever it wants on P cores.

    You want to dynamically set a power profile or maximise performance of one app when it runs, or stop windows from doing that when a service wakes up and does something, or only want a power profile run for a bit of time once something is active, and then go back to saving power.

    You are are dual using a PC as a server for something and a PC you actually use to game on and want to be able to control any child processes some bullshit might spawn on its own, whether stopping them or setting their priority.

    You need to limit the number of simultaneous instances/processes that any program runs to any arbitrary number, not just 1 or infinite.

    You run apps that have multiple competing draws on memory - this has a thoughtful memory manager mode that bumps programs with loads of stuff actively in RAM they aren't really using, rather than pretending it's going to rewrite the concept of memory management on x86 from scratch.

    There's deeper stuff you can do with it (especially if you then combine prolasso with other scripts) but it's just a handy tool for managing both old machines that are on their last legs, and very new ones that have Weird processor structures that work better if apps are told to use them a certain way.

      comprehensive! Thank you!

      This is well written. I use this program on my 14600k (6C12T + 8 E Cores) and it works well enough.

      Most useful settings for gaming imo

      Setting priority automatically (Normal/Above Normal/High)
      Setting Performance mode automatically (Bitsum's default is good enough)
      Limiting background apps like Discord, Steam and a few others.
      Core 0 disable for some games (0 Is used for Windows features so some games it can make perf slightly worse)
      Taking games on or off the E cores.

      if you have a 7900/7950x3d or 9900/9950x3d it works really good due to the very unique 3d cache & core structure since Window/AMD still suck at sorting it.

  Good little program for those apps that run hot on your machine and need to manage the background apps. I use this to help with MSFS 2024 and it works quite well.

  Worth buying just to support the devs

  So this is useful for applying bandaids to programs that are not designed properly to start with?

    Yes, but more commonly for programs that existed before the idea of Little Big processor layouts happened.

    Some apps also dont understand CCX's (they shouldnt have to… But processor microcode is another discussion), so you can use this to keep all the threads on the same ccx.

  I'd just like Microsoft to unf**k task manager. What idiot decided task manager should ask permission instead of force close apps I don't know, a task manager that can't close apps immediately is useless

    Just replace it with process explorer.
