Currently synchronization doesn't support fractional CPs. Besides this,
reducing the sample rate helps a lot to make it run faster. Only thing to
keep in mind though, having a different number of blocks than used by the
base station will only allow you to decode PBCH. But for a start. That's
not much of a problem.
