How will out-of-control Process Restraint affect CD/DVD Optical burners?
CD/DVD Burners typically don’t use enough of the processor to be restrained, as they are usually waiting on disk or optical drive I/O. It is actually more likely that a buffer underrun would be prevented by Process Lasso because if you were in such a high-load situation, the other offending processes would have their priorities lowered, there-by giving the burning application more access to CPU cycles. Even if the burning process itself got lowered in priority, it’d be no worse off than without Process Lasso since the other active processes would surely have been lowered as well, there-by giving it equal footing, as it had originally. Also, some burners raise their own priority and Process Lasso will NOT lower the priority of processes that have raised their own priorities, depending on the configuration of Process Lasso. The bottom line is: Process Lasso is most likely to HELP, and even in a worst case scenario it shouldn’t make things worse. That said, adding Optical Burning apps to
