My ageing G4 was groaning a little under the weighty of today's hungry apps. Real-time info from MenuMeters showed that the bottlenecks were in the CPU, which was running far too often at 100 percent utilisation. Then hey, presto! I download this little beauty and whenever I have one of those CPU-intensive applications running in front, I can downgrade (or kill) background process to speed things up.

Process Wizard – it's like having a faster CPU!

I was using BeNicer until I got a new Mac and had problems with privledges (not able to Renice from a non-admin account with BeNicer).

Normally, I'm hesitant to add extra stuff to my menu bar, but I've found that's the best place for this app--it's great and unintrusive. I give it 5 stars!

The developer(s) did a great job! Awesome app!
