Sparky8: Improve PC Speed

Sparky8 is a small program to give your system a big boost in its responsiveness, especially when it comes to systems that might be a little stretched.

It works by ensuring the window that you are currently using has a higher priority than other windows, making the program you are using get the clock cycles it needs, instead of your precious CPU cycles being chewed up by a hungry app running in the background.

Sparky8 uses virtually no CPU cycles to do its tricks, and only has a 200-230 KB memory footprint (generally is 204 KB,) [NOTE: This is OS and computer dependent!]. This is because it was written in x86-64 assembly code, keeping it incredibly efficient. Because there is no reason to disable Sparky8 when you are preparing to run a performance-hungry application. Infact, Sparky8 may help you get the most out of your applications and may even provide a slight performance for applications that demand it

Keep in mind that while Sparky8 was developed for Windows Vista, but should run perfectly fine on Windows 95 and later.

Sparky8 is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, sparky8x64.exe being the 64-bit extended version. It is recommended to use the 64-bit version where you can, but the 32-bit version can still interact and function with the 64-bit apps running on the system however.
