The high CPU-speed if of course needed for such "complicated" things as decoding music. As some of the codecs are able to decode music faster than "needed", so faster than realtime (don't beat me on the exact numbers, but it's like decoding 5 seconds of music would take half a second), it suffices to boost the CPU only from time to time (like for half a second every 5 seconds in my example), and to do the simpler tasks (updating the WPS and idle-stuff) with a lower frequency. lImbus Received on 2006-01-05 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
