That's not entirely consistent with my experience and what I've heard 
from WSJT-X developers. MSK144 IS quite demanding of processor, speed, 
and RAM. Other modes generally are not. As long as 5-6 years ago, before 
the WSJT team had developed a multi-decoder, using W6CQZ's JT65-HF 
multi-decoder, I often decoding 20 or more JT65 signals in a single pass 
on HF with very under-powered 10-year old Thinkpads that didn't have 
much RAM either.

For MSK144 (meteor scatter) my superfast new Thinkpad could not be set 
for deep decoding and maximum frequency tolerance until I brought the 
RAM up to 16GB.
