The problem is what exactly causes the faulty behaviour with the "g" variants and how to fix it.

Like Ryzen 5600G (what I am using) etc or the builds using Og?

Yeah single threaded a normal album well encodes below 10 seconds.
@JoshuaChang binary is ~4600x speed here on the 5900x

@pqyt

When you use a horizontal peakmeter (in 100% scaling) alignment is perfect if you do not use a legend on top or bottom. The topmost bar will align with the top of the panel and the bottom bar will align with the bottom of the panel when panel height is allotted by me calculated by channels x barheight + gauge size x (channels-1).

The moment I display 1 or 2 horizontal legends the bottom bar does not align anymore with the bottom of the window you paint in the panel I allotted. There is always a gap of 2 pixels between the bottom of the bar and the bottom of the window you paint (left side legend displays channels in full panel height). The same gap is on top, but that one is not noticed that much because the legend is on top of it.

As a result I cannot align the bottom of the bottombar with all other plugins I display. I cannot compensate for this behavior since 1) I do not know if a legend is displayed and 2) even if I lower the panel by 2 pixels that would still not align since in that case the left legend would be displayed too low.

Can you please change this behavior and use the 2 pixels below bottombar and 2 pixels above topbar (and under top legend) for bar display (there's still plenty of space to the legend on top of the topbar)?

Amazing to convert a 38min album in 8 seconds. I think Deadbeef is single threaded but I am not sure.

CD Hardware/Software / Re: CD rip has numerous timing problems

Also, when using burst mode with EAC or CUERipper, they both appear to be reading the sections several times - is that to be expected?

Fascinating stuff is that the "g" variants behave so different and a profiled 2pass compile fixes it.
The speed gain is nice also

Thanks to @punkrockdude for the insight!

What else might cause the timing problems? A poorly manufactred disc?

I aborted after three tracks, but the log file indicated numerous timing problems - no suspicious positions which is what I'd expect if the disc were damaged.

Burst mode doesn't have error detection/correction. A timing problem means a lot of time was needed to try to read the section. It doesn't always mean an error (but could).

All the images that are downloaded have 'Folder-'
Click the Options link just below the search box, and look in the "Save images to" box. Just before %preset% it probably says "Folder-", remove that and it won't be in the filename any more.

Amazing! thanks so much!
I had actually already changed that and for some reason it did not save my setting when I tried. But I tried again and restarted the application and that seemed to have fixed it! Truly appreciate you for being quick to respond and of course for making such an awesome program!
