_hidecursorIDLE:
If you are eligible for the free version, it's ready and able to work on any Windows(XP or higher, 64 or 32 bits). Still only with direct contact via mail.

[update]
and here is a public demo, available for 32bit systems and until the 7th of November. Please don't try to use it after the day as it will certainly lose the intended functionality.
Also please read the end of this post

what it does:
it gives all the attention where it is needed, as in love and resources, to the CPU
enhancing your computational power by increasing the priority to the current and selected applications
and allocating all the processors (physical and logical) to the current application (while sending the others to the "service" processor where available)

The demo will be available next week, and you may also want to try a few tricks:
- download any CPU related test, e.g. the first that Google showed: Performance Test
and try to see what your processor is up to, with this Advanced -> Multitasking -> select Whetsone, Dhrystone, Prime Number Search, Sorting Random Strings, Compression and Encryption

See for yourself what it can do, run it once with your system "loaded" and then after you've tweeked all the processes to low and one processor only while the pt.exe to high priority and all the processors available

I'll let you decide how much you'd give to that, but a minimum of 20% increase in speed automatically maintained is uber fast!

Also the application lets you choose what application doesn't need that or does better at a selected level

Then you'll be able to enjoy the latest games and take the best of your computing power.

HKLoops:
I've had to explain a bit here and there on how it should be used therefore for now it failed the "Bullfrog test". It is available with consultancy aside and it will receive double efforts to design it automagically understandable. Or I'll write some documentation for it, but I still hope better not :)
Also new features are added.


Probably I will open another development blog dedicated to the apps as I would like to steer this one to game development and what it was before that.

Thanks to all who helped in testing and special thanks to those who helped me with the multitude of hardware to be able to test for myself in all the imaginable scenarios!!

end of post:
_alwaysSTICKY is the application that will monitor the main _hidecursorIDLE in order to automatically revive it after exception events. These events can be customized in the .ini files, and are for the processes starting with a exclamation mark and ending in a restart command. Also it can be used with control+alt+F9 to manually start the _hidecursorIDLE or control+SHIFT+alt+F9 to stop it.

And remember:
control+alt+escape: sends all the processes to idle mode while minding the current application with all the resources necessary
alt+shift+escape: sends all the processes to normal mode, usually you won't need that
control+win+1: sends the current app to normal mode
control+win+2: forces the current app to high mode
also you are not usually going to need them as the app is designed to work automatically.

Enjoy :)
