Hi Joe,
I usually use -qh, I remember Graeme saying few time that ultra quality
is not very useful, more the proof that things work as supposed. Will
try it, but don't expect much help in that case. I remember trying it
long time ago on another profile with not much difference . Will let you
know if -qu helps.
One thing I am considering is to create second profile and use the first
one as pre-conditioning profile (-c).
Cheers
Radek
