FLACCL: CUDA-enabled FLAC encoder by Gregory S. Chudov (prev. FlaCuda)

Well I have my GTX 460 now, and am trying the new ver above, but still can't get it to run as quickly as others.
Encoding the 13 tracks from Pink Floyd's Final Cut, as before, from WAVS with the settings
-8 - -o %d
I get speeds of less than 160x
(That's with 4 threads, it is [much] slower if I set Foobar to just 1... what is the story there?)
This vs 122x with regular Flac -8 on my Q6600, which maxes out all four cores.
To try to minimize the HDD factor, I transcoded a single FLAC of Mike Oldfield's Amarok (60 mins long), but only got 86x... can the HDD be slowing it down this much? The Amarok FLAC is 330 MB... Windows will copy the file in mere seconds...
try "--cpu-threads 2 -8 - -o %d" It isn´t wise to let 4 threads of these GPU encoders run. Just give one instance of Flaccl use 2 additional threads via --cpu-threads. You may even try 3 threads.
On my HDD i also get more hiccups but encoding is above 200x all the time. My SSD is much faster even if i only have an old 965P, Q9550, GTX260.
Lets see if case finds some time, his graph is the only reference atm.
