Instead of using .gray, try .red or .green or .blue or .x or .y or .z. They all return
the same 
thing when using a plain black to white pattern and are faster: evaluate a single
colour. .gray 
first evaluate each colour and average them. As, in this case, each chanel are
identical, that 
operation is futile.

Playing music rarely take more that 5%CPU and not all the time... In my case, it's
more in the 1~2% 
range, in bursts.
