Hi All, First, I would like to thank Bill and George for their answers.
The following is only to help the team, so do not see any negative idea in it. I am using an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU (E8400) at 3GHz, this is not the latest I7, but not too old... Not an AMD anyway. FYI my test conditions are : - WSJT-X : r7405 - FTol = 200Hz - Decode : DEEP. With these conditions, the CPU load is around 40% so I have the feeling that I have plenty. But, I wanted to try George's recommandations, so I reduced the FTol to 100Hz. Now, the CPU load dropped to 32%, but the graphics fills up to 30s. I have never tried to build from sources in Windows, but I did it with Linux (quite a while ago). So do you think that this problem could be solved by using Linux ? Or is there a newer version available under Linux that could overcome this problem ? Another question : using FTol = 100Hz does not leave much room for the transceiver frequency error (I am using a FT-2000 on 6m so it should be ok). Thanks for your help.

Switching from "deep" to "normal" decodes may also help. I'm not sure about Europe, but in North America, we seem to have settled on 15 second cycles, too. Good luck! Hope to see you during Es season. George J.
