Hello, nik33134.

That's a quite surprising result

It's intentional. Most users simply refuse to update and stick with archaic versions. So we need to help them a bit

Not without compiling your own "custom" build from the sources

I want to stick with the old version. Thanks
The old 3.xx is version has been deprecated and it's highly recommended to update to 4.xx now!

There are just too many nasty restrictions in the old version (no support of Unicode file names or tags !!!) and the audio tools that were used in the old version are outdated too.


So would you please run the following benchmark on your system and post the results, then we might be able to find out what is going wrong:

(This includes the LAME build that was used in LameXP v3.18 Hotfix-2 Build 88, the build that is used in the current version as well as another build for comparison).


Here are my results:

Concision for my system:
The "old" build was slightly faster in VBR mode and significant slower in CBR mode, compared to the "up-to-date" build.
