You are both very right about this. Gold-plating the

do wonders for the light and fast bits used to convolve the first few

energy) they really need low-resistance paths. For the later parts
of the IR jconv uses heavy bits, and a lot of them. Having all this
mass vibrate can put excessive stress on you CPU.
As far as I know blind-tests show that there is no statistical prove that
gold-plating on the cpu is any better then using a melted coat-hanger.
It all depends on whether you talk to your cpu in a nice language and treat it
with some goodies every now and then...
