[Skimmertalk] qs1r sharing?

This is the CPU:
http://ark.intel.com/products/65524/Intel-Core-i7-3770S-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-3_90-GHz

Benchmark data:
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7-3770S+%40+3.10GHz&id=897

It has 4 cores/8 threads, 16GB RAM, and runs Windows 7 64-bit.

I forgot to mention that I also run some flight tracking software on
this machine and an AR Cluster node.

During the ARRL RTTY Roundup I left everything on and it more or less
kept up.  It seems RTTY Skimmer Server has some sort of throttle built
in to avoid using up excessive CPU, at the expense of some decoding
bandwidth.
