Freeze Frame 1.1.2 Freezes Open Applications So They Use No CPU Cycles

1089
Freeze Frame uses the underlying UNIX power of Mac OS X to make your Mac run more smoothly while undergoing a CPU-heavy process, whether it be arranging loops in GarageBand or applying a filter in Photoshop. Freeze Frame allows you to completely freeze an application, making it use absolutely no CPU cycles. This means the next time you're applying a filter in Photoshop and Mail decides it needs to update right now, you can instantly freeze Mail in its tracks, leaving Photoshop to run its process uninterrupted.

Of course, by that point, Mail has already done some damage. Wouldn't it be nice if you could prevent it from happening at all? You can, with Freeze Frame's "Focus Freeze" feature, available only to registered users. Focus Freeze allows you to freeze all applications but the frontmost one, leaving all the processor cycles for that one app, and preventing any other apps from hijacking that app's progress.

• Fixed code that did nothing in Tiger, but caused visual defect in Leopard.
