If you've ever taken a look at your Task Manager and seen an app hogging 70% or more of CPU, there's usually nothing to be done except close the app or kill its processes. Process Tamer offers an alternative. This tiny app keeps a watchful eye for any app that attempts to hog the CPU, then lowers its priority. - Steve Horton
