A fix is on its way which significantly reduces the waterfall CPU: http://git.berlios.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=fldigi;a=blobdiff;f=src/waterfall/waterfall.cxx;h=dc6ef3721424c5b894e2b3f944215444d1493eb7;hp=adf3b009d336e1892a48d9b9b3e9eaea6cf400c8;hb=e2eb292f5b82b1df6686a24df0fd928452fffc8f;hpb=490058b58903f39eff010572e6bd709cfd2b8b99 Basically these are just changes to waterfall/waterfall.cxx which for example spent to much time copying small chunks of data with memcpy(). I think it is tested by Dave W1HKJ at the moment.
