This paragraph introduces a review of Process Lasso, a real-time CPU optimization and automation program. The reviewer asks viewers for support by liking the video and proceeds to explain the basic features of Process Lasso, including its real-time graph and list of processes. The main attraction of Process Lasso is its advanced task manager capabilities. The reviewer then discusses various settings, including disabling automatic updates, configuring startup options, and disabling logging for performance gains. The focus is on the ProBalance feature, which intelligently adjusts process priorities based on CPU usage thresholds. The reviewer suggests more aggressive settings for ProBalance and emphasizes the importance of excluding critical Windows services to prevent system instability.
๐ Benchmark Results and Personal Verdict on Process Lasso
The second paragraph presents the results of benchmarks conducted using the Performance Toolkit, comparing the performance of two games, Fortnite and CS2, with and without Process Lasso enabled. The reviewer notes significant reductions in latency for certain components like the Nvidia driver and Direct X Graphics kernel when Process Lasso is active. However, there is also a mention of increased latency in the operating system's kernel, which is undesirable. For CS2, the impact is minimal, with only a slight increase in average FPS. The reviewer concludes by stating that while Process Lasso might not be necessary for their personal use, it's essential for viewers to test it on their systems as results may vary. The paragraph ends with a sign-off to the audience.

Transcripts
hey everyone hope you're all doing well
and feel free to let me know if
otherwise and today I'm trying and
reviewing process lasso so then you
don't have to but before we get started
if you just do me a teeny tiny big favor
and leave a like on the video since it's
a super easy way to support me and it
really does help a lot now on to process
lasso what does it do they are
self-proclaimed to be a real-time CPU
optimization and automation program so
let's see how well they work and if
they're even worth it at all with the
app opened up we have a mostly Ed graph
at the top here but you can get some
pretty useful info with what processes
are causing spikes if you decide to
hover over it once again a mostly
useless list here since most of this can
be shown in task manager but the mate of
why people get into process lasso though
isn't for these features it's kind of
like a more useful task manager let's
move on to some settings I watched a few
guides and mixed it all together for the
review so I'll be applying this today
with my added changes on if I think it's
dumb or not to use under updates we
likely don't need it checking for
updates all the time so I'll keep it to
never check but you all can choose two
weeks if you really want to next up
under options and then General let's go
to configure startup where we want to
disable the gooey at startup and leave
the core engine at system Boot and what
all of that does is it basically allows
you to not have this running in the
background but still have the settings
that you applied running in the
background so it's a little bit of a
performance save because honestly once
you set all these settings you likely
don't need need to change them again
next up under log I don't really see the
use of keeping this enabled so I would
recommend disabling it next up with CPU
we have prob balance which I think most
guides recommend using this feature and
prob balance is a feature and in the
developer words a smart tool that
adjusts the priority of resource Hogs
and with the advanced options you can
kind of control when it gets activated
the defaults here we have 10 5 and 2 so
at 10% total system CPU usage process
lasso will start to make adjustments and
then on a per program basis if a
specific process is taking over 5% CPU
usage process lasso will once again
start making adjustments and will stop
when it gets down to 2% Now the default
here is fine but if we want to get a bit
more aggressive we can reduce the 10%
down to 9% and the 2% down to 1% so now
it'll start making adjustments much
faster on the system scale and it will
keep on using those adjustments for much
longer on a per process basis we'll also
want to reduce the initial start usage
from 5 to three so that'll get moving
much faster too and then we'll want to
exclude some important Windows Services
because we don't want to Nuke your
operating system so at this bottom down
here at the bottom you want to add the
conhost.exe and the
wt.com the
wt.mc lasso and not doing this can cause
some system instability so after adding
them to the list hit okay hit okay again
and now under options once again we can
move on to memory which this part can be
kind of redundant if you have a lot of
memory smart trim is a feature put in
place as to how process lasso puts it a
feature to politely ask memory hogging
background processes to release their
working sets and that it also never
trims the application you're actively
engaged with so make sure that the check
is right here next to Smart trim and
then under smart trim options we're
pretty much fine leaving the default
settings here and we'll put in their
recommended values where it won't
activate unless your RAM usage is over
65% and then enable the system file
cache 2 and set it to only Purge half of
your total RAM and since I have 32 GB
I'm going to just type in 16,000 hit
okay and then once again back on under
the memory we want to go to the
exclusions now and all of these
executables here we want added to the
list we have the audio DG which is part
of the Windows audio system csrss which
is the client server runtime which
handles most graphical instructions
under the operating system dwm or
desktop Windows manager which handles
graphical effects font driver host which
affects the rendering of fonts LS ass or
the local security Authority which
handles enforcing security policies smss
or session manager which is a critical
system process and then service hosts
which are the generic host process for
drivers or dlls and now the last one
that we want to exclude is the when log
on which handles log on and log out
procedures on the system I'll wait here
a moment before continuing and feel free
to pause it as
well now that we're all set up with
their main features let's move on to
benchmarks when using the performance
toolkit I have the before and after
pulled up first with fortnite then with
CS2 afterwards we can see across the
board that with fortnite on versus off
that the changes are pretty noticeable
and I'll just throw out some random
examples here the Nvidia driver here
knocked off about a whole microsecond on
average the direct X Graphics kernel
also about knocked off another
microsecond and the USB
xhci system knocked off about 2 micros
seconds and the n kernel which is your
operating system got worse which is
obviously something that we don't want
to see next up for CS2 comparison I also
want to just quickly point out some key
details from off andon the Nvidia driver
knocked off about2 micros direct X
kernel gained about3 micros the USB also
gained about3 micros and lastly the N
kernel gained about 2 micros of latency
which once again is very bad and when we
look at the capf frame X benchmarks
we'll see that process lasso on actually
negatively impacted the 1% and 0.2% lows
Counter Strike 2 on the other hand saw
virtually no difference whatsoever but
it did get some slightly higher average
FPS so I guess we'll take it so is
process lasso worth using I would say in
my case it is very likely that I won't
need it but like with any sort of tweak
or optimization your system you're going
to want to test this for yourself and
see just how well it works for you
results for me might not always be the
same for you so keeping that in mind I
love you all and I'll see you in the
next one
