Program Booster

Program Booster is a lightweight Windows utility whose purpose is to help you set the priority of the running applications. This way, you can speed up or slow down the performance of multiple utilities, and focus solely on your work.

The program sits quietly in the system tray until called upon when it reveals several configuration settings to tinker with.

Program Booster gives users the possibility to select the priority level (real time, high, or above normal), enable or disable the boosting process, as well as create a list with applications and specify the priority level for all of them.

Other important features worth mentioning are represented by the possibility to view a log with detailed information about the running applications, performed actions and possible errors, and close a program if the CPU exceeds a specified value.

Last but not least, you can make Program Booster automatically switch to a “Below Normal” option when the CPU usage gets over a user-defined value, run the tool at Windows startup, and check for updates.

Since there aren’t many configuration settings, even less experienced users can set up the entire process with minimum effort.

During our testing we have noticed that .n Program Booster carries out a task quickly, and no errors showed up throughout the entire process. As it would be expected from such a small utility, it manages to remain light on the system resources, so it doesn’t burden the overall performance of the computer, nor interfere with other programs’ functionality.

All things considered, Program Booster offers a simple software solution for helping you prioritize the CPU usage for different applications. It can be easily configured and installed by beginners and professionals alike.
