Since ProBalance mostly handles ALL preventable stalls (unless set up wrong), I've decided to postpone the Emergency Stall Recovery feature until v4.1. The issue has been that once a stall has been induced, action can not be taken (because even the high priority thread of the governor is starved). If I make it too aggressive, then it is simply ProBalance ignoring all exclusions -- which won't work.
So, for now, ProBalance will do its job just fine of preventing stalls. In a worst case scenario where an excluded process is the one causing problems, .. Well, you'll have to un-exclude that process or wait for v4.1 ;(.
This decision is the correct one, I believe. It lets me get v4 on out the door. I'm already quite late, at least if going by my self-imposed guesstimates on delivery date. We're there now, and I'm clipping out anything that isn't done (with the exception of the graph tooltips, which I'm polishing before release and finally enabling).
