FhG faster than Xing? It seems strange. I'll try to hear it in order to see if it's a low quality encoder or a good one. Could someone with an unix box and gtk have a look at it on castanets with the frame analyser in order to see if they use some short and long blocks or only long ones like Xing.

Hi all, find attached a small tweak to l3psycho_energy (just cut and paste into l3psy.c). a 30% improvement in this routine. all i did was re-order the checks for chn type. A few ideas/things about this routine - when does chn==2 or chn==3? I guess from the code that it'
