HI Dan,

On many laptops, if you click on the little battery icon in the task bar, it will open up the power choices. Otherwise: in windows 10: settings...power and sleep settings and then I think it may vary by mfg. If you give me the mfg and OS I would be happy to try to be more specific.

So that is a good thing to know, but...

The more I play with the laptop & Calibre viewer, the less convinced I am it is making a difference. :-(

My initial tests on the same passages showed marked improvement, lately I'm seeing more graphic "farts". So, being in "performance" mode may be making a difference, but it is certainly not eliminating it.

Annoying, but not a deal breaker to me. Not to sound like an advertisement, but Calibre is still the best thing since free p**n. Although I do worry about other issues if Kovid moves more infrastructure to use QT.

There was a thread detailing how to use the old reader; if it is worth the effort you might try that,
