Process Tamer - Free Up CPU Resources - Another Winner from DonationCoder
As I have said before I am a huge fan of the Donation Coder utilities and this is one that I have installed on all of the PC's/Laptops I use on a regular basis. [Process Tamer] is a small and efficient utility to manage the amount of CPU time being used by the programs currently running on your PC.

@ Jim Jones – hoping a number of random volunteers will do quality work that you’d normally have to pay for and then use that output to make some sort of profit is ridiculous. That and ‘crowdsourcing’ is just a hyperbolic, ******** term that pseudo-hipsters like to use.
