I can't believe that, since my system is extremely fast. It laughs
when you mention 'cpu intensive'. Nevertheless, if this is really
true then why is the viewer only using one of my CPU's? In the VERY
least it could start using the other three while decompressing
JPEG2000 images! But I see the viewer NEVER use more than one cpu.
