Changing it to 4 (like Robin) also got the error to go away. Also, I
either mistakenly reported the CPU usage or something else happened, since
even BEFORE I made this change, the CPU usage was typical of what I would
expect with decoding active, and the display was fine as well. Other than
removing the error message, the change down to 4 had no noticable positive
or negative effects. Then again, it would appear that the error message
itself may have been spurious, since my guess is decoding was working fine
anyway.
