One problem I never got rid of when I renovated ZAutomate was the audio lag which happens intermittently or especially whenever the user performs a large search. I still hear the lag happen occasionally even during automation. What I know now that I didn't know then is that multithreading in Python isn't very effective because of the GIL, so Python provides the multiprocessing package to enable multi-threading but with separate processes instead of threads, which circumvents the GIL.
It's a simple fix but I can't test it myself as I don't have access to the studio anymore. @garrettdunc I see you're listed as the current computer engineer, if you could test my fixes in the studio when you get a chance and let me know if it works then we can get these fixes merged into the master branch.
