Urging people to beware of 'foreground boosters'

Posted on 13:18 by Unknown
I would like to take this opportunity to remind users to stay away from any application that boosts the priority class of the foreground process. These sort of utilities are dangerous, and a cheap hack. There is a reason Process Lasso doesn't take this simple approach to solving the NT responsiveness problem - it doesn't work and is dangerous. Windows already uses a few methods of foreground boosting (i.e. longer time slices), and additional boosting of the foreground process priority is not only unhelpful, but also can be quite harmful.

More information is here.
