 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.
