Daphne Portable

Daphne Portable is a software application whose sole purpose is to aid individuals in viewing all the processes running on their system and killing the ones that you think are using too many resources.

This is the portable version of Daphne, which means that the installation process is not a must. If you move the program files to an external data device (e.g. pen drive), you can easily run it on any computer you can get your hands on.

Another important aspect to take into consideration is that the Windows registry and Start menu/screen are not going to suffer any changes, and no leftovers will remain on the hard drive after its removal.

The UI you come face to face encloses a simple and clear-cut design, which is comprised of a panel which displays a list of all the processes running on the PC and a few buttons. It can be used with great ease by anybody, including people with little or no experience with computers. It is fairly non-obtrusive, as it does not appear in the taskbar, nor the system tray when running.

The main window enables you to view processes along with information such as CPU usage, PID, name, path, owner, priority, class, memory used, threads, I/O writes and I/O reads. Moreover, it is possible to view the total usage of CPU and memory and free available memory.

By right-clicking one of the process, you bring up a context menu which enables you to kill processes, set priority, pause, stop, start and continue services, copy the name, PID, path and arguments to the Clipboard, and search for it on a website database.

CPU and memory usage is kept at a low level at all times, which means that the computer’s performance is not going to be impeded. The interface is simple to handle and the response time is good. Taking all of this into consideration, we can safely say Daphne Portable is an efficient piece of software.
