Some of us may want to fight the good fight with you Paul.
It would be helpful if we knew what we're fighting though.

Are you trying to out-drama the OP?

When some people have a different opinion than yours it's not propaganda, it's just a different opinion.
What do you think propaganda means?
It's just the organized/proselytized form of "different opinion".
It's not even necessarily wrong or evil.
Those who want words like "propaganda" and "agenda" to be automatically negatively-connoted, are the same who want to enjoy a monopoly of their use.

Last post by Brazil2 -I downloaded the ABX utility to check if the "limiter" feature of it would help (it allows to play just a short piece and quickly switch between the samples), but no.As said many times, post the results of your ABX test or shut it.
It doesn't mean that my original statement regarding the v1/v2 differences is false!

FLAC / Re: FLAC v1.4.x Performance Tests
Last post by Porcus -I think it has to do with the extensive checks that have been added to FLAC 1.4.0 for handling corrupt audio.Fair enough if so.
(I thought of that possibility, but it didn't strike me as something that should depend on the number of blocks. Like, if you decode something that exceeds 16 bit when it shouldn't, I was thinking that you probably check that per sample. But what do I know.)

FLAC / Re: FLAC v1.4.x Performance Tests
Last post by ktf -There should be intel CPU's late this year with APX at earliest.And fragmentation continues. AVX10 is hailed to "clean up the mess of AVX-512" but all I see is even more fragmentation. flac on x86 will be an incredibly fat binary with SSE2, SSSE3, SSE4.1, AVX2, AVX512 and AVX10 code paths. Because while Intel is dropping AVX512 for AVX10, AMD just started on AVX512 and CPUs without any AVX are still being sold, so it is not like SSE can be dropped anytime soon.
1.3 is much faster at the small block sizes! At the very smallest, 17 samples, it decodes at at 22 seconds, 1.4 needs 40, 1.4 32-bit needs 60. That is a little bit of difference?!I think it has to do with the extensive checks that have been added to FLAC 1.4.0 for handling corrupt audio. Also, I think the binary is currently too fat, so it impacts branch prediction, which is most profound on small blocksizes.
