Hi Joe, I will try other tests in next days. Today I try the test on a desktop i7-2600 cpu@3.4GHz OS window7 64 pro The test is on 100 files named from test00.wav to test99.wav I modified in display.cpp the line 40 routine void DisplayText::insertLineSpacer() to void DisplayText::insertLineSpacer() { // QString tt="----------------------------------------"; QTime time = QTime::currentTime(); QString tt = time.toString(); QString bg="#d3d3d3"; _insertText(tt,bg); } So i have time markers. Putting the '.mtune=native' ONLY on fortran flags reduce the time from 5 to 4 minutes on the 98 cycles (first and last are excluded). This confirm your table on the decoder times. I think some other parameter influence the program (other hardware? other libs? other video drivers?) I will try to analyze between 'decodings' to understand the strange difference on some machines. I will keep you informed as I am very curious
