Instead of focusing on a limited set of possible factors that may slow down your computer, WhySoSlow takes a holistic approach to analyzing the responsiveness and performance of a system. It's intended as a one-stop solution for checking all performance health factors of a system.
Among other things, the software will analyze and monitor your CPU temperature and speed, running processes, memory usage, page file usage, disk fragmentation, power settings, responsiveness behavior of BIOS, devices and drivers and several other factors that may influence the performance and responsiveness of your system.
Upon request, the software will perform a thorough analysis and provide you with a detailed report that includes suggestions on how to improve your systems responsiveness and performance.
WhySoSlow will allow you to configure alarms that trigger when certain criteria have been met, such as a CPU that reaches its maximum temperature or is being throttled down for too long. This will allow you to operate your system smoothly while it's being monitored in the background by the software, consuming only a minimum of resources. WhySoSlow runs on Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 32-bit and 64-bit editions.
Among other things WhySoSlow will:
- Monitor your CPU temperature and check your system for thermals problems
- Monitor your CPU speed and check if it's throttled down
- Monitor CPU load and check all the processes running in your system
- Analyze memory usage and possible problems this may cause
- Analyze responsiveness of the system at both the kernel and application level
- Analyze BIOS and device behavior which may be causing performance or latency problems
- Analyze drivers, interrupts and DPCs for possible performance problems they may cause
- Analyze the amount of paging and hard pagefaults which may cause your system to slow down
- Analyze the fragmentation level of your disks and check whether this causes poor performance on your system
- Provide you with AntiFreeze, an Emergency Taskmanager for when your system is really frozen
- Allow you to set alarms that trigger on condititions of your choice
- Provide you with a detailed report with suggestions on how to fix your system or improve performance
The things that are still missing in the beta release are:
- Report text generated is far from complete
- Documentation is not yet available
- Some of the alarm actions that are listed are not available
- This version will stop working after January 31, 2016
