Developer's Description

Stop services and programs before running intensive applications.

AlacrityPC allows you to get the most from your Windows PC by shutting down unnecessary services and programs before you run a resource intensive application like a game. When you finish, AlacrityPC will automatically restart the programs and services, returning your PC back to its original state. AlacrityPC can also perform additional optimizations like Defragmentation of memory. Version 1.0.0.48 includes unspecified updates.

There are other programs that get the job done easier

Pros
It gets the job done
Cons
but not as easily as SmartClose, which is also free. I found little help in the Alacrity help section; I didn't need to look for help with SmartClose
Summary
Works Well!

Pros
I love the fact that this product is very configurable and customizable. It takes most, if not all of the guesswork of figuring out which processes you can do without based on which program you're trying run.
Cons
Make sure you go through the tutorial! Setting up different profiles requires a little bit of thought and planning.
Summary
It is easy to use and highly configurable and it works!
FSX for XP worked smoother than without it.

Pros
The more I use it the more I will become familiar with what works and does't work. It worked the way I thought it was going to after learning what to do.
Cons
Trying to understand what to do and getting familiar with the product.
Summary
The product is very functional and it works very good the way it is. Once I get familiar with it, I may have some comments or suggestions about how to make it better or to add what I would feel it needs.
Does what I needed and have had no problems

Pros
It works well once you understand how to program it.
Cons
Need more justification why or why not a process is needed to be active or not. Have not had trouble using the hints, but there may be more than can be turned off or should never be turned off if I have the information.
Summary
Great product. Works as advertised. Use for MS Flight Sim and need all the memory I can get without crashing...the program or the plane....or both.
Simple to use once I could understand how to set it up

Pros
Efficient and speedy
Cons
Took a while to see how to target the product on what I wanted to Shut down
Summary
Releases sufficient resource within Vista 32bit to run Flight Sim X at high graphics levels
swervr1May 13, 2008
Pros
Alacrity takes the pain and guesswork out of shutting down services within Windows to enable better performance when running Flight Sim. There are built in safeguards that protect you from shutting down essential stuff and everything reverts to normal when you have finished using it.
Cons
Summary
excellent program
