App Stop is a little status bar that resides in your menu bar that allows you to pause, and continue your applications.

When you pause an application is freezes it, keeping all the memory assoicated with the application intact but stopping the application from using any CPU cycles.
For older machines with limited CPU, but an abundance of memory this is very usefull because it allows you to free up that precious CPU time to help other applications run faster. App Stop features a table view mode that allows you to select mutiple application to pause/continue, set CPU priority, as well as force-quit them. App Stop will also automatically continue all your processes when App Stop terminates.

What's New:
Rewrote the cpu usage code, its now much cleaner
Force quitting background applications will remove them from the list immediatly
iTunes-like live searching ability added
App Stop is now a universal binary
Updated to Xcode 2.2, compiling with the latest GCC release.
