[Skimmertalk] qs1r sharing?

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

The CPU consumption is a real challenge.  My Skimmer machine is an AMD 
that is about 3/4 the passmark of a good i7, and it was struggling to 
handle 4 192-KHz bands last weekend.  I plan to do some experiments - it 
may be that 96 KHz bands, properly centered, will be OK, and may help some.

This morning, I posted my hope that I'd be finished documenting the 
newest Aggregator, which includes ini rotation for both normal and 
contest use for both Skimservs.  However, the Agg appears to need a 
little more work, and I haven't finished the draft instructions, so 
please bear with us.

73, Pete N4ZR
