BES — Battle Encoder Shirasé1.7.7

If you own a fairly powerful computer, you might've faced the situation where some of your apps seem to steal all the processing power for themselves, although their operations are not quite complex.Although we're not going to start pointing fingers, you might know exactly who the culprits are. Instead of removing them altogether from your computer, you might want to try specialized software solutions such as BES — Battle Encoder Shirasé.

Limits the CPU consumption

What this application really does is that it can detect the applications that take a big toll on your CPU and throttle them. However, it doesn't do that automatically; you need to put them on the list manually.Doing so isn't complicated at all: just hit the "Target..." button on the main window and browse the newly opened window for the application in cause. You'll be able to view additional details about the apps, such as the slot, process ID, name, CPU number and window title.

Watcher included

After displaying the process list, you need to select each application you want BES — Battle Encoder Shirasé to throttle manually and hit the "Limit this" button. Alternatively, you can hit the "Limit/Watch" button if you want to monitor the process even after terminating it.The list can be refreshed at any time by pressing the F5 key on your keyboard or the "Refresh" button in the window. You can also enable the automatic refresh feature by ticking the designated checkbox.

Limit controls

Each application that you either decide to throttle or watch can be configured individually. After deciding on the applications you want to limit, you just need to hit the "Control" button and a "Limiter Control" window will be displayed.Here you can modify the target executables for each application and adjust the percentage of limit it should receive whenever throttling is attempted. It is also possible to modify the "Target Sleep/Awake Cycle" by typing the value in milliseconds in the designated field.

Handy semi-automatic app throttling tool

To sum it up, if you've decided that some of the apps on your computer are simply hogging too much of your computing power, you might want to try limiting the toll it takes on your PC with BES — Battle Encoder Shirasé. It can be easily configured, features in-depth limit control and enables you to monitor processes after terminating them as well.
