Well I think so...

Specifically:

Alt-Tab Replacement

With this PowerToy, in addition to seeing the icon of the application window you are switching to, you will also see a preview of the page. This helps particularly when multiple sessions of an application are open.

Image Resizer

This PowerToy enables you to resize one or many image files with a right-click.

Alt-Tab Replacement

I find that really heavy on system resources - my fav. 'Command prompt from here'

TaskSwitch is only reporting 2,584Kb in use... That's not heavy, surely? :)

I just remember screen refreshes dragging when I used to use it but I do work with a lot of open windows at any one time (as I type 41 running applications!)
