:-D I had a good laugh reading all the posts here! Looks like the dev has a lot of enemies! :-D
Well, I'm afraid I must disagree with the gentlemen that wrote before me: I may have a strange computer but it works for me!
Not with every app (VLC is stuttering, so in fact, an exclude list of apps wouldn't be a bad idea), not a 200% acceleration.
Indeed, you can't even talk of acceleration, but using it with my Digidesign ProTools - that was stopping playing probably because of a conflict with some background app - made it play flawlessly.
I compared it with Renicer and the result, in my ProTools business as in Apple's Activity Monitor is clear: Renicer wasn't doing antything while CPU Speed did.

This is a joke, right?
The dev for has read the book 'How to rip off people without doing anything'.

Shame on you

A rip off.
Charging this much for slapping a badly written front end on somebody else's work is a disgrace.

AlphaOmega software are a disgrace.

Do not ever pay for this.
Useless, unsafe, unpractical, well overpriced. That about sums it up.

Quite honestly, it's like having one more item in the menu bar, that's pretty much just sitting there -- doing nothing at all.


As noted before by another user, this developer only has useless software that he makes ppl pay ridiculous prices for.

OS X allocates CPU usage based on need. Other than actually upgrading your physical processor, there is no way to bleed out more performance from your current chip, despite what the developer will have you believe.

Moreover, asking price for an unproven and theoretically useless app is bordering on criminal. Nothing to see here folks... ok maybe you can take note of a developer without any skill, wanting to line their pockets... with your hard earned cash. If you feel like burning money, donate it to a worthy cause instead.

Dude! if you are going to say something is free than make it free! The fifth column ask for type of license and the sixth ask for price. So when you put free then that means your asking price is Zero, Nada, get it. Then maybe people might not be so critical of your overpriced software!
