I couldn't even begin to guess how many tools are front-ends for Terminal commands. But no one is whining like spoiled children about them.
I read a comment recently that sums up the losers and their hate.
"People pay for conveniences like valet parking and hair cuts. They could have parked their own car and slapped a bowl on their head to cut their hair to avoid paying the fees/tips. The same logic applies to Terminal and Mac tools. You can do it yourself or you can pay for the convenience of a tool to do it for you. The choices are up to each person. And I doubt the trolls can comprehend the fact there will always be a market for conveniences or the simple fact that there are Mac users with handicaps. My aunt can hardly type in her own name because her hands are too arthritic and the pain is excruciating. She wears a holstered sidearm with a hair trigger and I'd bet she'd shoot any troll between the eyes telling her to use Terminal instead of software that does the same."
Too bad his aunt couldn't find the retards that gave this a bad rep for their own ignorance.

This app does what it is intended to do, and that is to give the front most app full focus. No scam here geniuses. Who care's it's a GUI front-end for a Terminal command. How many Mac tools are not? LOL
I do have one complaint. The price of this tool is far too much. It should be competitive with App Tamer.
5 stars for everything but 1 star for value.

Open terminal and type;
sudo renice -20 ProcessIDHere
-20 is the highest priority a program can be given. You'll also be prompted for your administrator password because of the Super User DO (sudo) command (just like this app wouldn't work otherwise).
This app is akin to the free Speed Freak; http://home.comcast.net/~jeff.ulicny/software/utils.html
Unfortunately that hasn't been updated in awhile, but its free and does the same thing.

If you're going to try to get people to pay for this and you say it's been updated for Lion you'd think the screenshot would show it running on relatively current hardware

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.
