Search a ROM dump for this string of bytes:
00 00 A0 E3 C9 0A 00 EB
It should appear only once in the whole 128mb dump. The patch is to change the first two 00 00 bytes to FF FF.
This patch puts an 18 hour "sleep" in front of the thread that hogs the CPU. If my theory is right, this will give us long stretches of good performance, though it will not completely eliminate the filesys problem. In order to burn this patch, we will need to recalculate the .CRC file.
Anyone game to try this?

will recalculate it as soon as possible, you can then try it yourself, as you do not need to update the bootloader it is of no risk for you
