Hi, seems everybody has this "special fellings" on AMD software.
I did experiments using "some" (2, 3, 5, ... invocations). And i really
liked the results: better performance AND better interactivity, but i
found my solution just silly. And i disliked my idea to improve
find_best_workgroup() and find_best_KPC() JtR functions.
I will try your approach to handle it in a proper way.
Thanks for sharing!
