[THIN] Re: mem and cpu control

Jim K. introduced Process Lasso to the list a while back, which is also an excellent utility for controlling CPU usage. The added functions of being able to set a process's priority level, or CPU affinity has come in very handy for us on a few occasions where we used Process Lasso to boost the CPU utilization of specific EXEs. 

It's default behavior is to cap CPU usage for processes when they reach 20%.

Unlike threadmaster (which I'm still a fan of), process lasso is still being actively updated, and it's supports x64 systems.

Not sure of utilities for memory cap'ing exe's . . I vaguely recall some registry modifications that could be set per exe on a system . . will see if I can digg some of that up.

i'm not opposed to paying for something if it works.  And you are correct, threadmaster does nothing for memory.  i"ll check out what appsense has.

Without wanting to do a sales pitch I don't believe Thread Master controls physical memory.  AppSense Performance Manager will control CPU and physical memory for a process.  It is however, not free of charge...

To be open, yes I do work for AppSense.

Thanks,
Jon
