Process TamerFree
Process Tamer is a tiny and ultra-efficient utility for Microsoft Windows XP / 2K / NT that runs in the tray of your system and constantly monitors other processes’ CPU usage. When it sees a process that is overloading your CPU, it temporarily lowers the priority of that process until its CPU usage returns to a reasonable level.
Many times the process will overload your processor, for example, when converting audio/video files or working with compressed archives. Because these processes consume the processor, your system becomes unresponsive and you cannot use your computer for other tasks while these processes are running. The platform addresses this problem by detecting such degenerate conditions and temporarily lowering the priority of problematic processes to allow your system to respond to other requests. Stop being a victim of an overloaded processor and let this application keep your system up and running, no matter what you do.
