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.

The power required in this case is the function of determining the Remove Silence points. In other words when you process them which as you said may take a couple days to do.
Playing in Hoster with the Remove Silence activated doesn't take more power to use. The points are stored in the database and in the KMA files which Hoster uses to determine where to start and end.
The thing that takes a lot of computing power during play is if you use the WMP visualizations for Audio files either in the Playlist or in the Background Audio. In our testing these would drive the processor percentage for Hoster up 40 - 50% over normal running. This may be more than some computers can handle.

so if understood you right it will only take a lot of power if i was to use wmp visualization for audio files either for playlist or BA ? (visualization means those effects that's shows up on the screen when playing audio?) if i'm wrong please correct me..so if i dont use any of that i should be fine, i just use plain audio on my BA..the only thing that stopping me to use this feature was the time it takes to process all the songs i have
