Slow replaygain scanning

Hi,

I'm replaygain scanning 4 albums (monkeys audio files) at once, I mean 4 rg threads at once, on a P4 3.00 GHz machine with hyperthreading turned on in BIOS. FB2k uses the whole processor time: Good. But if I sum the replaygain speed reported in the 4 windows up, I get around 45x. I think this is rather slow, I was expecting >100, because my pentium 3/800 can rg scan at around 30x.
Why is this?

TIA

I had a problem like this a few days ago. I use a Athlon XP instead of your Intel processor. I installed HardDiskSentinel and controlled my harddisk. The result was that my hdd was damaged.

Don't know if fits with your problem but try to check you hdd.

It could be that the decoding speed of Monkey's Audio files are low (when you say your Pentium 3 can scan at 40X, are you talking about similarly compressed Monkey's Audio files?)

I'd try using the benchmark tool to see the rate at which the file is being decoded, or try RGing MP3/Vorbis/AAC files to see if the slowness persists.

Thanks, I think this is the point. Usually I have no ape files. Right now I'm replaygaining p5m encoded tak files at >80x.
