I experienced a DRAMATIC reduction in load - I mean from around 1.0 to down to about 0.25 ! All I did was the following and then restarted ZM from the console. wget http://cetus.sakura.ne.jp/softlab/jpeg-x86simd/sources/jpegsrc-6b-x86simd-1.02.tar.gz tar xzvf jpegsrc-6b-x86simd-1.02.tar.gz wget http ...

Struggling this way and finally learning something is good, and I have been endeavoring to more thoroughly document my adventures , so that I can refer to my notes later. These posts are also as valuable as gold. For instance, I was able to figure out that ...
