4.10 Remove Silence

[billyo]

i'm thinking about doing the remove silence feature, but i read that doing this takes a lot of 'puter power, i'm just not clear about if it's just the process of removing the silence that takes a lot of power, or running hoster with the silence removed that will used a lot of power? i have about 37-40k to do, which will take me days to complete, tried a few it took 6-8 sec.ea.
