glenw, have you tried actually looking at the cpu and memory usage while decoding the flac files? It would really help to know whats actually going on inside your Touch.
You can do this by sshing into the Touch and running either ps -aux or top. To do this you need to enable ssh on the Touch: setings>advanced>enable remote access. This will give you the IP address and password. Use an SSH client to connect to the Touch as "root". On Windows such a program is putty.exe, on linux its just ssh, I'm not sure what it is on Mak. Connect to the touch using the IP address you got when enabling remote access, it will ask for a password, use the one from above. This should get you into the Touch. Then just type either ps -aux <enter> or top <enter> Top gives you the top 20 or so processes and repeats it over and over until you type 'q'. I'm not sure how well it works on putty though, its works great using ssh on linux. If top is not working well try ps -aux (this shows all the process, so you will have to scroll to find the big ones) Either of these will tell you the percentage CPU and memory usage each process is using. This is probably going to be important to tracking down whats going on with your Touch. For example on mine when playing 24/96 flac from an external server only about 40% cpu is being used.
