I appreciate the info, but my point was that it works fast enough now, 
improvements enjoyed and appreciated, but not requested (by me, anyway).

  Even purely technical things can appear to be magic, if the documentation is
obscure enough. For example, PulseAudio is configured by dancing naked around a

other, while reciting the GNU manifesto in hexadecimal. The documentation fails
to note that you must circle the fire counter-clockwise in the southern
hemisphere.
