You only need to run it to configure the gentner. Generally, the
experience I've had/heard of include only having to do that during setup
or modification. It's not something that needs to be run continuously.
In that case, the performance is not a critical issue, besides that,
reports are that gentner has tried to make the continuously running
thread a low priority so that other processes get the cpu if they want
it.

the display machine?
