WARNING: Beware of third-party utilities that adjust process priorities (other than Process Lasso)

Recently I've seen either 'hacked on' additions to existing products, or new products, that have the ability to manipulate process priority classes. I have studied the effects of adjusting Windows process priority classes for years.

While testing the addition of such a feature to a popular window manager, I found it severely mucked things up (on its own). These utilities have several problems:

1. They do not respect application set priorities like they should (meaning if an application sets its own priority, it likely knows more about why than some external utility could guess, and should therefore be left alone).
2. They haven't had the type of 'real world' testing and exposure of Process Lasso
3. They are not conservative in their changes like Process Lasso
4. They can interfere with Process Lasso
5. They simply do things wrong. I know this. They don't. You do, at least now.

I am adding some warnings for some common utilities, but not the gimmicky ones. After all, I'm not going to call someone 'names'. However, in cases where the developer added a feature not realizing its full consequences, I am going to pop up a message and let you know to disable that extra little feature in the application.

Do not confuse this warning with application's that set their OWN priority. For these applications, let them do their thing - as they know what they are doing (most of the time).
