ProcessTamer / Tame applications based on CPU
« on: April 28, 2006, 06:02 PM »
I notice that the new config GUI has a checkbox titled: "tame applications based on CPU usage". There is no mention of it in the help (or in this forum that I can tell).
If you de-check this option what does it do? Does it tame based on some other parameters other than CPU? Or does it effectively turn PT off?
In terms of feature requests, it would be nice to be able to tame a process if it's disk usage goes over certain thresholds, similar to current CPU parameters. For laptop users, no matter how high spec your laptop is, disk throughput is the key bottleneck. A process can be using relatively little CPU, but is generating a large number of page faults (retreiving/writing data to/from disk), it can effect useability as much as a process that has run away with the CPU...
Any thoughts?
Cheers
