Going Green with Process Lasso

I don't know about you, but I like to run my stuff in High Performance mode when I'm using it. When I'm not using it, I prefer to run it in lesser power schemes. Process Lasso has long supported the ability to do this by inducing High Performance mode when select processes are open.

In this new beta series support of 'default power schemes' (when a certain program is running switch to scheme X and revert when it closes) has been extended to support any power scheme you choose. There are lots of OEM created specific power schemes, which really aren't anything but fancier named system power schemes. Regardless, you can now use these and user defined power schemes. Honestly, on most systems you really need only the 3 default schemes, which can be tweaked to your liking in the Power Options where you'll find a plethora of settings for every piece of hardware installed. Renaming by OEMs is just a gimmick, with the most absurd named power schemes (like SuperDuperUperPerformance and PowerSaveLikeYourMommaWouldWant).

Forgetting those absurd names and going back to the 3 Windows default schemes, you may ask: Why not just use Balanced or Power Saver (or their equivalents) all the time? Well, that power saving has a price. Even though your CPU and other hardware 'scales up' based on demand, it takes TIME for it to scale up. So, you have a performance hit in anything but High Performance mode, no way around it.

Give the new beta a try (at your own risk, recognizing it is a beta) and experiment if you want. I believe it is approaching a good stable state. At this point I anticipate the new final to come next week sometime. I've still got to file my taxes, which ironically has caused me to get more work done (nothing will motivate you to want to do something else like filing taxes will, lol).
