BS0D 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.

LOKHEED 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.

PLASTERPYRUS 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!

THUS.SPAKE.Z Greek localization for Version 4.4, whoopee! Let's break out the retsina and all drink a toast to the developer for this brilliant move. A new localization in itself warrants a new posting here on Macupdate?. I mean, there's no update to CPU Speed Accelerator other than Greek localization, huh? Way to go, developer. You've already established a bad reputation for yourself here at MacUpdate. But you really want to dig a deeper hole for yourself, right. You've long demonstrated a propensity for shooting yourself in the foot, haven't you? Well, pour me another glass and I'll have another serving of spanakopita, please. Let's all get up and dance at news of this new localization. (Pretty slimy of you, AlphaOmega, if ya really want to know)
