FWIW, I'm running an Atom D510 motherboard with an 8 port serial card.
I'm using Windows 7 and VNC for remote access (the machine runs
headless). I am regularly running LH v3 beta, TimeLab (reading PPS data
from a TIC), TAC32, and GPSCon each on its own serial port
simultaneously without any problems. I normally only have two of the
apps maximized, but don't see any significant lags.
The only problem I've had was the dreaded Microsoft
serial-mouse-on-bootup issue. If you think it's fun watching one
phantom mouse scribbling on your screen, wait until you try it with
four! (BTW -- apparently, under Win7 the old switch to turn of serial
mouse detection no longer works; all you can do is go into the control
panel mouse settings and disable each phantom serial mouse separately.)

Are you running the v3 beta? I normally run the program 24/7 on a 300 MHz
laptop here, acting as both a server for two Thunderbolts and a client.
There were some improvements to CPU utilization in the current beta, and its
UI response should be essentially instantaneous.

Subject: [time-nuts] Lady Heather on low power CPU/Linux?
Fellow Time-Nuts,
I am trying to run LH on an Alix 3D3 single-board PC:
http://www.pcengines.ch/alix3d3.htm
Being only a 500 MHz Geode CPU, there is not much power to work with.
Still, running Debian Linux with Wine allowed me to make LH work..
BUT: A single second tick takes about 3-4 seconds to show up.. needless
to say that LH never catches up again and user interaction is painful at
best.
I tried the /tw=50 setting for less CPU usage with little effect. Is
there anything else I can do?
Strictly speaking, I would only need the active temperature control, I
could spare all the other features..
Any comments out there?
Regards,
Achim
