I would not recommend letting process lasso do anything other than set CPU affinity and priority. Do not let it optimize your system tasks or it will be making arbitrary decisions about what to run and when.

Its an expensive utility to set affinity and priority, but I couldn't find any other utilities that would do that reliably without causing other problems.
Thanks. I like Process Lasso. It is worth it to me. So are you saying I can turn off "Enable Pro Balance"? Should I exclude system tasks? I am certainly getting closer to "no dropped buffers". The system will run for hours with no dropped buffers, but if I let it run over night, I still get a few.
