No matter how much money you have invested in a new computer, sooner or later you will face performance problems.
These problems are usually related with the CPU or the memory. Computers are becoming so complex that you need all the help you can get to find the source of the problems.
The first thing I do when I notice that my computer is not acting as it should is run Task Manager. With this tool you can easily see the usage of Memory and CPU of every process on your computer. I always do the same: look for the processes that are using more CPU and see if there are enough physical memory available.
So, why not have a utility that do the same with just one click and that can be easily found in your Windows 7 Taskbar?
To do this we are going to use one component of Windows 7, PowerShell, that can be also used in other Windows versions.
