Umm... Shouldn't there be an OFF in that sentence?

So assuming we have a microbe of performance left later on some IP free compression might not go amiss in the mix.

The K3 performance drain is in the eink "wait loop" inside the syscall, so not a lot we can do about that unless we find an "async" way to do eink updates like on the K4/K5 (where you do your own delay loop with sensible sleep() calls inside them).

Yes, I want to do sound stuff, and I also prefer the "listening to twisted numbers" stuff much more than the buffer pushing. But I really crave "as SIMPLE as humanly possible". I get my fun REMOVING every parameter and every line of code that I can without killing the code. Hobby coding after all.

The sound stuff just isn't there yet. I will have to see just how minimal I can make it and still keep it working on all the kindle eink models.

Unfortunately, I adapted to the timezone shift the wrong direction, needing 18hrs of sleep for several days. I have weaned it down to 12, and now 9. I used to get by on 2-4 hours per day. I hope this is not permanent.
