I have a shortcut to 'pskill hl2.exe' on my desktop, with the shortcut SHIFT+ALT+END assigned.
If css gets into a loop, I hit those keys and the process is ended instantly - this type of thing is great for apps which take over the cpu, and occasionally get themselves confused :) I don't know if this can harm your installation - I've done it a hundred times and its never broken anything.

Anyone annoyed by the extremely slow shutdowns should try running in a window and using the Windows close button instead of HL2 quit, it works immediately.
